The classification of human civilization proposed by Nikolai Kardashev in 1964.

Type 0: Subsistence Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Human and animal power
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Hunter-gatherer, agrarian societies
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Indigenous cultures, ancient civilizations (e.g., Egypt, Greece)

Type 1: Agricultural Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Animal domestication, basic agriculture
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Settlements, farming, craftsmanship
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Medieval Europe, ancient China

Type 2: Industrial Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas)
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Mass production, urbanization, technological advancements
•⁠ ⁠Examples: 18th-20th century Europe, modern industrial nations

Type 3: Post-Industrial Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Nuclear power, renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro)
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Information age, service-based economies, global connectivity
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Modern Western societies, Japan, South Korea

Type 4: High-Tech Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Advanced nuclear power, fusion energy, space-based solar power
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Advanced technologies (AI, biotech, nanotech), space exploration
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Emerging technologies, futuristic concepts (e.g., smart cities)

Type 5: Interstellar Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Exotic energy sources (e.g., antimatter, dark energy)
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Interstellar travel, colonization, advanced astroengineering
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Theoretical, science fiction (e.g., Star Trek, Asimov's Foundation)

Type 6: Planetary Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Harnessing planetary energy (e.g., geothermal, tidal)
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Global cooperation, sustainable development, eco-friendly technologies
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Emerging trends in sustainable development, eco-cities

Type 7: Universal Civilization

•⁠ ⁠Energy source: Harnessing universal energy (e.g., zero-point energy)
•⁠ ⁠Characteristics: Advanced consciousness, unity with the universe
•⁠ ⁠Examples: Theoretical, spiritual, and philosophical concepts

Note: This classification is based on the Kardashev scale, proposed by Nikolai Kardashev in 1964, and expanded upon by Michio Kaku and other theorists.
