- Technological advances in the history of mankind can be reduced to five major types:
- Stage I: adaptation
- Stage II: domestication
- Stage III: diversification
- Stage IV: mechanization
- Stage V: automation
- Physical frameworks of human occupation are of fifteen major types derived from the idealized continent and the climate classification system formulated by Köppen.
