Early human: When human history started?

Answer 1

Here, meet our relatives:

Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years ago
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years ago to present

Before them, between 5 and 10 million years ago, there was our common ancestor with the apes. This is what is romantically called "The missing link".

Pick a time that you consider human history began, and go from there. I myself would choose homo habilus, as that was when we started to use tools and adapt the environment to suit ourselves, like wearing protective clothes for warmth etc.

Answer 2

Generally, anthropologists say history began when humans started keeping written records. This is purely a move for purposes of definition. History in the middle east seems to have begun about 5000 years ago (give or take depending on the region), but if we found records dating to 20,000 years ago, then that would become the beginning of history. In the U.S., prehistory is considered to have lasted pretty much up until European contact. So it's not written in stone, and just serves as a conceptual marker, mostly.

Answer 3

I believe that human history, as most people define it, began with the advent of writing. There's not really a way to accurately record and preserve any kind of "history" before that. I think that was 6000 or so years ago.

Modern humans as we know them were alive and well more than a hundred thousand years before that, we just have no real "history" other than what we can deduce from their leavings.
