+===== 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/gatherers and use simple stone tools. Evolution from Homo Habilis to Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Ends when the last Ice age (and the Pleistocene era) ends.
+    * 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.
+  * ** Bronze Age ** :
+  * ** Iron Age ** :
+  * ** Classical Era ** :
+  * ** Middle Ages **
+  * ** Reformation & Renaissance **
