This document summarizes prehistory and history from the Paleolithic era to the contemporary age. It notes that in prehistory, early humans lived in small family groups, created cave paintings, made tools from stone/wood/bones, and began burying their dead. In the Neolithic era, they began building homes, using more complex tools, growing crops, and making ceramics. The document then outlines the main periods of history: Ancient history starting over 4000 years ago with the invention of writing; the Middle Ages beginning around 1500 years ago; the Modern Age from 1492 to the French Revolution; and the Contemporary Age from the past 200 years to today.
