How did Animal Domestication lead to Deep Learning?

9 steps · 6 domains · 10,512 years

  1. Animal Domestication~8,500 BC (livestock) · 8,500 BCTaming and breeding wild animals into livestock that give meat, milk, muscle, and manure from one investment — though only about a dozen large species ever proved tameable.
  2. machte es möglich ↓
    Plow and Harness~4,000 BC · 4,000 BCYoking oxen — and later, properly harnessed horses — to plows and carts, giving farmers the first working power source stronger than a human back.
  3. machte es machbar ↓

    The heavy plow is useless without a strong draft team; harnessing animals to pull is a hard prerequisite, not merely an inspiration.

    Heavy moldboard plow~900 AD (heavy plow spreads) · 900 ADA heavy, wheeled, iron-shod plow that does not just scratch the soil but cuts a slice of it and flips it fully over — a vertical knife, a horizontal blade, and a curved board working together to bite into and turn dense, wet clay that a light plow only skids across.
  4. die sie voraussetzte — machte es möglich ↑

    The share and coulter must be iron to hold an edge biting through clay, stones, and roots.

    Iron Smelting (Bloomery)~1,500 BC · 1,500 BCReducing iron ore to workable metal in a charcoal-fired clay furnace.
  5. machte es möglich ↓
    Steam Engine1712 AD (Newcomen) · 1712 ADA machine that burns fuel to boil water and turns the push of steam into continuous mechanical work — fire become motion.
  6. machte es machbar ↓
    Chemical Engineering1888 AD (first curriculum) · 1888 ADThe discipline of running chemical reactions continuously, safely, and at factory scale — built on the insight that every plant is the same dozen basic operations recombined.
  7. machte es machbar ↓
    Photolithography1957 AD · 1957 ADPrinting with light: project a circuit pattern onto a light-sensitive coating on a silicon wafer, so billions of microscopic transistors can be made in a single exposure.
  8. machte es machbar ↓
    Integrated Circuit1959 AD · 1959 ADAn entire circuit — transistors, resistors, wiring — manufactured as one piece on a single sliver of silicon.
  9. machte es möglich ↓
    The Internet1969–1983 AD · 1983 ADA network of networks with no center: any computer can reach any other by passing packets through whoever is in between.
  10. machte es möglich ↓

    Web-scale datasets (ImageNet was assembled from internet images) are what made depth pay off.

    Deep Learning2012 AD · 2012 ADMany-layered neural networks that learn features from raw data instead of being told what to look for — revived when GPUs made training them feasible.
