This timeline briefly charts 300,000 years of human history. we start in prehistory, including the age (s) of stone (there were at least three, depending on where in the world you are) and continue through the bronze age and iron age in to…. history (when people started writing things down) with the romans, saxons & vikings and so on…. C. 2.5 million years ago – c. 200,000 years ago. use of simple stone tools by early hominids. – middle stone age. c. 200,000 years ago – c. 50,000 years ago. emergence of homo sapiens and advanced stone tools. – upper paleolithic. c. 50,000 years ago – c. 10,000 bce. development of complex tools, art, and social structures.
The prehistory timeline and quiz created by pupils from the hall primary school, leicestershire is based on information from this interactive prehistory timeline showing the changes in britain from the stone age to the iron age. the information in this timeline is also available as a series of downloadable powerpoints. The iron age was a period in human history that started between 1200 b.c. and 600 b.c. during the iron age, people across much of europe, asia and parts of africa began making tools and weapons. Stone age, prehistoric cultural stage, or level of human development, characterized by the creation and use of stone tools.the stone age, whose origin coincides with the discovery of the oldest known stone tools, which have been dated to some 3.3 million years ago, is usually divided into three separate periods—paleolithic period, mesolithic period, and neolithic period—based on the degree. The pleistocene epoch, ranging from c. 2,6 million years ago until c. 12,000 years ago. it is characterised by repeated cycles of glacials and interglacials. c. 2600000 bce c. 12000 bce. the palaeolithic (or old stone age) period, ranging from c. 2,6 million years ago until c. 12,000 years ago. 40000 bce 10000 bce.

The stone age was a broad prehistoric period during which stone was widely used to make stone tools with an edge, a point, or a percussion surface. the period lasted for roughly 3.4 million years [ 1] and ended between 4,000 bc and 2,000 bc, with the advent of metalworking. [ 2] it therefore represents nearly 99.3% of human history. Summary. the stone age, bronze age, and iron age are three major periods in history. they are separated by the changes that took place in human society, from hunter gatherers to farmers, and then to city dwellers. each age saw different advances in technology and architecture, as well as the rise and fall of great civilisations.
