The Silk Roads are the symbol of the interconnectedness of ancient
Eurasian civilizations. Using challenging land and maritime routes,
merchants and adventurers, diplomats and missionaries, sailors and
soldiers, and camels, horses and ships, carried their commodities,
ideas, languages and pathogens enormous distances across Eurasia.
The result was an underlying unity that traveled the length of the
routes, and which is preserved to this day, expressed in common
technologies, artistic styles, cultures and religions, and even
disease and immunity patterns. In words and images, Craig Benjamin
explores the processes that allowed for the comingling of so many
goods, ideas, and diseases around a geographical hub deep in
central Eurasia. He argues that the first Silk Roads era was the
catalyst for an extraordinary increase in the complexity of human
relationships and collective learning, a complexity that helped
drive our species inexorably along a path towards modernity.
