| - | ===== Human History Overview ===== | ||
| - | Human historical ages based on behavioural and cultural characteristics vary significantly based on location since different areas developed at different rates. Figures given here are a rough average estimate. | ||
| - | * 4 mya - earliest humans | ||
| - | * ** Stone Age ** : 2.5 mya - ~3000 BC | ||
| - | * Paleolithic age - 2.5 mya - ~8000BC - Still in the Pleistocene era. Human ancestors roam as bands of hunters/ | ||
| - | * Mesolithic age - ~8000BC - ~6000BC - Rising sea levels force a need to adapt. More complex settlements and the first tribes appear. Microlithic tools and boats are developed and fishing becomes a source of food. | ||
| - | * Neolithic age - ~6000BC - ~3000BC - Agriculture (farming and herding) and related tools (plough, hoe, yoke etc) are developed. Domestication of animals begins. The earliest towns and temples are from this age. | ||
