 The human species had its origins in the Rift Valley
of Africa. Over millions of years they evolved and
migrated to every continent of the Earth. Early
human history is divided into three Stone Ages,
Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic (Middle
Stone Age) and Neolithic (New Stone Age).
Later human history is categorized by the use of
metals such as Bronze and Iron. Humans learned to
use these metals as tools of war, and farming. The
major discoveries of the period were farming,
herding, metal making, fire, metallurgy, writing and
the wheel. |
