Prehistory is considered what time period?

Prehistory refers to the period of time before civilization and writing.

This is the period before human civilizations developed and started writing things down.

Pre means before and history is the record of human events.

The earliest writing systems appeared circa 5,300 years ago but it took thousands of years for writing to be widely adopted. This is why the end of prehistory is very difficult to determine.

The main source for prehistory is archaeology.
