Prehistory refers to the period before written records were kept, which varies by region but generally began with the emergence of hominins around 2.5 million years ago. In most parts of the world, prehistory ended with the advent of writing systems, which occurred around 3500-3000 BCE in regions like Mesopotamia. This transition marks the beginning of recorded history.
