In plate tectonics as in everything, the period before human history is the prehistoric period. Since plate tectonics have been going on since about the beginning of the planet, this is a very long period indeed, compared to which the historic period is insignificant.
The period before written human history is known as prehistory.
Yes, there where Human beings before the Dinosaurs, but a different kind as the humans from today
The period before people developed writing is called prehistory. This period ranges from the emergence of the first human species to the invention of written language.
History is the period of recorded events of man. Pre-history is the time before man recorded events. This is the period when man could not write, although oral histories existed in many areas, which were later recorded.
The first period of human life is called pre-history
The word that means before the time known to history is "prehistory." This term refers to the period of human history that predates written records, encompassing the development of early human cultures, tools, and societies. Prehistory is typically studied through archaeology, anthropology, and other scientific methods to understand early human life.
Yes, the Paleolithic period came before the Neolithic period. The Paleolithic period is known as the Old Stone Age and encompasses the earliest period of human history, characterized by the use of stone tools. The Neolithic period followed the Paleolithic period and is known as the New Stone Age, marked by the development of agriculture and more complex societies.
The Stone Age
The Paleolithic period, also known as the Old Stone Age, is the earliest phase of human history, occurring before the Neolithic period and subsequent eras. It began approximately 2.6 million years ago and lasted until around 10,000 BCE, characterized by the development of stone tools and the use of fire by early humans. This period laid the foundation for the later advancements in agriculture and civilization.
the Old-Stone Age
In the most general terms, prehistory differs from history inasmuch as it is that period of time that has occurred before periods in which human ideas and events have been recorded, particularly through writing. In other words, 'history' refers to times or events that have been preserved through records of some kind, while 'prehistory' refers to what came before such records.
Anything earlier than about 3000BCE is pre-historic, and there's darned little "history" earlier than about 1,000BCE. Since our best guess is that the human race "began" - in the sense that anything before that was pre-human - in about 150,000 BCE, then "pre-history" lasted for about 147,000 years.
