What does World History consists of?

World history may be split in different ways - different cultures, different scientists, wars and laws, Presidents and governments. It is often split by geographical area or by time ranges. People have probably lived on the earth for about 2 million years. But the story of world history begins about 5,500 years ago with the invention of writing. The period before people began to write is usually known as prehistory. Archaeologists have pieced together the story of prehistory by studying what the people had left behind, including artwork, tools, ruins of buildings, fossils, and even their own skeletons. Such objects provide the main evidence of what prehistoric people were like and how they lived. The first traces of writing date from about 3500 B.C. From then on, people could write their own history. By writing down their experiences, they could tell future generations what they were like and how they lived. From these documents, we can learn firsthand, about the rise and fall of civilizations and the course of other important events. So, the history of the world, from the first civilizations to the present, is based largely on what has been written down by peoples through the ages.
