The Prehistory Age runs from 11,700 to 5,000 years ago. Details to come...but for ease this period is then divided up into even smaller bite sized chunks...
70,000 years ago, the last ice age or glacial period began and with this came the evolution of the body louse and potentially the origins of clothing.
50,000 years ago, there was a great leap forward - a human cultural revolution - it is also thought that both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals interbreed.
45,000 years ago, there is the colonisation of the landmass that we now know as Australia or that place down under.
40,000 years ago, there are Denisova hominin in Siberia
24,000 years ago, the species of Human known as the Neanderthals have become extinct
18,700 years ago, the sub species of Human, found in Indonesia, known as Homo floresiensis or the Hobbit (no relation to the works of J. R. R. Tolkien) becomes extinct.
15,000 years ago, Humans have started to colonise the land masses known as the Americas (or the North and South American continents)
