Is Prehistory?\n\nPrehistory is everything that happened beforewritten records.  \nWriting developed indifferent places at differenttimes.  \nThis means that, technically, the dates forprehistory vary around the world.  \nHistorians using the term prehistory are generallyreferring to time before the very first humanwriting, about 5,000 years ago (circa 3000 BCE) .  \nSlide 4  \nSlide 5  \nSlide 6  \n## What is the Stone Age?\n\n• Although thereis some overlapping in some parts of theworld, prehistory is roughly equivalent to the Stone Age.  \n• The dates used by historians and archaeologists typicallyrefer to the earliest time that some turning point occurred.  \n– For example, the Sumerians of Mesopotamia developed writingthousands of years before writing was used by European tribes.  \n– The time period when Sumerians were literate and Europeanswere illiterate is considered historical as opposed toprehistorical because writing existed in the world (eventhoughEuropeans weren’t using writing yet) .  \n• The Stone Age is divided into two parts:  \n– Old Stone Age – also called the Paleolithic Age  \n– New Stone Age – also called the Neolithic Age  \n\n| Prehistoric Stone

across theglobe (in bands of 25-70 people) in search of game andedible plants.  \n• The ice created a bridge between what we now call Siberia and Alaska.Humans crossed this bridge to North America and spread to South America  \nvery quickly.  \nThe ice age ended about 10,000 years ago (8000 BCE),leaving humans living allover the world.  \n• The ice bridge between Siberia and Alaska melted, leaving humans in theAmericas separated from the restofthe world.  \nTemperatures increased, creating a longer growing season.The ice receded, making the land drier and better for growingplants. During the ice age, alot of large game was hunted toextinction (like wholly mammoths) . The invention of farmingallowed people to maintain a steady food supply.  \n| The Agricultural Revolution   |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>The Neolithic Revolution is alsocalled the AgriculturalRevolution.
