The Birth of China - The Dawn of Inequality (5000 to 3000 BCE)

In the third episode of our series examining China's earliest societies, we explore the increasingly complex societies of the Middle Neolithic. Over the course of 2000 years we see the emergence of early rulers and religious figures throughout the cultures of Northern and Southern China, along with the appearance of ritual architecture and prestigous burials on an unprecedented scale.
