The human species had its origins in
the Rift Valley of Africa. Over millions of
years they evolved and migrated to every
continent of the Earth. Early human history
is divided into three Stone Ages,
Paleolithic (Old Stone Age), Mesolithic
(Middle Stone Age) and Neolithic (New Stone
Age). Later human history is categorized by
the use of metals such as Bronze and Iron.
Humans learned to use these metals as tools
of war, and farming. The major discoveries
of the period were farming, herding, metal
making, fire, metallurgy, writing and the
wheel.
The prehistoric human species did
not live at the time of the Dinosaurs! They
are separated by about 150 million years.
