 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.
The prehistoric human species did not live
at the time of the Dinosaurs! They are
separated by about 150 million years. (the
Flintstones is a cartoon not a documentary) |
