What are the periods in history?
History can be divided into many periods in many different ways, depending on what you are interested in and on how wide or narrow a focus you apply. For example, you could define history (and pre-history) as the stone age, the copper age, the bronze age, the iron age, and the steel age; or you could define it as ancient, middle ages, renaissance, and modern. Or you could focus on a region, such as the Americas, and define periods as Pre-Columbian, colonial, post-colonial and modern. Or you could focus on one country and look at periods specific to the history of that country. For England, for example, they might include the pre-Roman period, the Roman period, the Saxon period, the Plantagenet dynasty, the Tudor Period, the Stuart period, the Victorian age, or several other overlapping designations.

What ends the era of pre-history and begins the era of history?
In general, historians look at the invention of writing with the early civilizations to define what is known as "recorded history." So that when we refer to the Dark Ages, for example, we are also talking about prehistory because, essentially, nothing was recorded. This is why this period prior to the Middle Ages is called "Dark." There's a difference, however, between a culture having no writing and having no system, thus it would be a mistake to think that a culture without a writing system is not a culture. It most likely had an oral tradition. This was generally true of early hunter-gathering "nomadic" cultures prior to the advent of agrarian communities and more stable settled environments with which, eventually, developed writing systems and "recorded" history.
