A lot of education on history revolves around the unspoken assumption that it is the history of 'us' - where *we come from that is interesting. Unless you're doing comparative anthropology, early Chinese, Middle Eastern, African etc cultures are largely ignored. What we call the 'dark ages' really only applies to western europe.
