Highlights on the history of the ancient world

Man learned to write approximately seven thousand years ago, and from that time he was able to record his news on the traces he left after him. By studying these traces, we learned a lot about the conditions of the first humans, and therefore we consider the use of writing to be the beginning of historical times.As for the eras that preceded the knowledge of writing, they are called the prehistoric eras, and they are undoubtedly much longer than our historical era, so that they cannot be measured against them. Everything that man left behind in the prehistoric eras is limited to spears, tools, and utensils that he used in his daily life, in addition to the bones of animals. Which he hunted and other things from the remains of the caves in which he lived.Prehistory is divided into eras, the first of which is the Stone Age. In its early days, man was a savage who lived by hunting and gathering fruits and did not settle in one place. But he gradually advanced in sophistication and left the old way, the way of using his teeth and nails to hunt and defend himself, and began to make the utensils and tools he needed. From stone, and in the late Stone Age, man achieved the ability to kindle and use fire, abandon the life of wandering, learn agriculture and settle down, and exchange benefits with his kind through the formation of social organizations.
