The first centuries of the "long" Middle Ages are often called the Dark Ages, principally because of the relative lack of written sources (of which there are many, but not so many as later). The term is now in less common use, as some consider it disparaging of an important formative period on which Archaeology and related disciplines are now shedding more light.

Is there any difference between Middle Ages Medieval and Dark Ages?
The Dark Ages is a part of the Middle Ages. It is the early Middle Age, when there werea lot of wars and stuff. At this time, there was no centralized government, meaning that most people lived in the countries, and the kings didn't have much power. The power was held by the Lord of an estate, because they had their own army to protect themselves and their people with, while the kings' armies were too slow to defend the people. Because of this, people relied on the Lords, and the only thing connecting all these estates was their religion- Christianity. Christianity was the only centralized power; all obeyed the pope. At this time, they believed that people should be obedient, faithful, and know their place. People slept with their animals (pigs and cows), except for the Lords. However, the late Middle Age was different. The power shifted back to the king, and people moved back to the cities. They got a new agricultural system called the "three-field system", and produced more crops than ever. Compared to the Golden Age that came next, the early Middle Age was dark alright, and that is why some call it the Dark Ages. In most cases, Dark Ages mean early Middle Ages, back in Ancient Greece, when Dorians destroyed the Mycenaean Greece, in the period that literature was lost. For the Middle Ages, look at the paragraph above for specifics.
What was the era before the dark ages?
The Renaissance time period came after the Dark Ages. ----- It seems most people who use the term Dark Ages are talking about the Early Middle Ages, which is a period from about 450 AD to 1000 AD. They call the following period the Middle Ages. Some people would have the Dark Ages coincide with the Age of Migration, from about 300 to 700, and this would mean it was followed by the second half of the Early Middle Ages, which began with a time called the Carolingian Renaissance. Other people would have the Dark Ages be equal to the entire Middle Ages, so it would be followed by the European Renaissance. I think most historians do not use the term Dark Ages.
What was the average life span of a person in the middle ages?
I have read that the life expectancy during the Middle Ages was about 25. If this figure is correct, it is easily misunderstood. The problem is that it is the life expectancy at birth, and with a very high infant mortality rate, half the babies were dying before they were two years old, so the life expectancy can be understood as an average between these and everyone else. Once people became an adult, they seem to have lived to age 55 or 60 on average.

What Name was given to early middle ages because learning and civilization declined?
the dark ages ----- The Early Middle Ages were called the Dark Age because of a decline in learning that persisted through much of the time. The decline in learning, however, did not begin during the Middle Ages, but in the Roman Empire of the 3rd century, and the recovery began about half way through the Early Middle Ages, with the Carolingian Renaissance (768-840) in the West and the Macedonian Renaissance (867-1056) in the East.
