In speaking of the period from 500 BCE to 1500 CE, the historian
William McNeill has said, "Contact from one end of Eurasia to the
other tended, despite some setbacks, to increase in frequency as the
centuries passed. This permitted leaders of one culture to borrow or
adapt items from other civilizations which happened to interest them.
Such crosscultural borrowing was, indeed, one of the principal
stimuli to innovation within each separate civilization."
