Help Me Pick a Topic

9.5.26


I've got three main ideas right now, all tied in with history:

  1. Ethnobotany, i.e. how the structure of grains like wheat, rice, and maize made taxation and centralized states possible.
  2. Metallurgy, i.e. how and why were certain metals or alloys more popular than others, and which of their properties gave rise to their widespread historical use.
  3. The chemistry of pigments and their historical relevance

Might add a suggestion box later, for now if you have any other ideas feel free to message me directly!
