Answer 2

Human history (or the history of humanity), also known as the history of the world, is the carefully researched description of humanity's past.  

Explanation:

Pre History

• The prehistoric era, or human history before traces of modern activity, is about 2.5 million years old, and dates back to 1,200 B.C. This historically has been identified as Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age
• The age of the "Paleolithic" stages (Old Stone Age), "Mesolithic" (middle stone age)& "Neolithic" (New Stone Age) is distinguished by the usage of the tools of our early human ancestors (who developed around 300 000 B.C.) and the subsequent transition from the hunting and gathering community of agriculture and alimentary growth.
• Early humans existed in caves or small huts or tepees during the Palaeolithic Era (around 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 B.C.). For hunting birds and wild animals the basic tools such as stone & bone tools  as well as the crude "stone axes" were used . They cooked their prey with controlled fire. They have also fished and picked up fruit, nuts and berries.
• In the Neolithic period, lastly (roughly 8,000 B.C. to 3,000 B.C.), old humans turned to cultivation or food processing in the hunter / gatherer style. They were domesticated and cereal grains grown. They used polished "hand axes" , tilled the ground and began to settle down in the plains. Advances were produced in the fields of tools as well as agriculture, house building and crafts, including pottery, sewing  & weaving.
• Over the Mesolithic period (around ten thousand B.C. to 8 thousand B.C.), humans used "small tools" in stone, which were now polished & sometimes made of "points" & fitted with antennas, bone/wood as arrows & spears and arrows. They also stayed in villages in the area of rivers and other water sources. During this time, "agriculture" was introduced, leading to more "permanent village settlements"
• "Metal processing" progress was rendered during the Bronze Age (about 3000 B.C. to 1300 B.C.), when iron, copper and tin alloy were found. The strong metal, which was mostly used for weapons & tools, substituted its predecessors & led to invention, including the plow drawn by the ox & the wheel. During this period architecture & art had advanced, including potter's wheel discovery, and textiles

• The discovery of heating and iron forging methods began the Iron Age (about 1,300 B.C. to 900 B.C.). The metal was then considered more precious than gold and it was easier to produce iron for wrought iron (which could be substituted by steel by the emergence of iron smelting). In addition to the mass manufacturing of steel weapons and tools, the age has seen further architectural progress.

Ancient History

• Summarize the activities of the early middle ages or the postclassical period from the start of known human history. The period reported is approximately 5,000 years, beginning with the first reports of linguistics period in Mesopotamia and China during the third millennium BCE
• Classical Antiquity: Wide term for a long span of Mediterranean cultural background, comprising ancient Greeks and ancient Romans, collectively regarded as the "Greco-Roman region" .. This is because the Greek & Roman cultures were thriving in Europe , North Africa and the Middle East. Their influence was huge.

Post-Classical History

• Period that preceded ancient history instantly. In general, between "CE 200–600" & "CE 1200–1500" the era falls according to the continent. "Han China" (end in 220), the "Gupta Empire" (in the 550s), The "Western Roman Empire" (in 476), & the "Sasanian Empire" (in 651) were the major classical civilisations after the period.
• Middle Ages: In the fifth century through the fifteenth. This began with the fall of the "Western Roman Empire" in 476 and was  demarcated by historians as  that  which ended the "Falls of Constantinople" in 1453.  into the "Renaissance" and the "Age of Discovery" by historians. Includes Early, High, & Late middle ages

Modern History

• Early Modern Period: his originated from the late Middle Ages (around 1500), which were characterized in historians by ways such as "Fall of Constantinople in 1453", the "Italian Renaissance" in the west, the "Ming Dynasty" in the east, and the emergence of the "Aztecs" in the modern world. This era concludes with the start of the Revolutionary Era.
• Late Modern History: Starting in the middle of the 18th century, the "French Revolution", the "American revolution", the "Scientific Revolution" and the Great Divergence became significant historical landmarks.
• Contemporary History: It is progressing with the generations and  "span of historic events" from approximately 1945 and which are relevant  to present time . The Post-Modern movement, for example (USA / Soviet Union 1973)
