Prehistory
What is Prehistory?
Prehistoric means the time before recorded history.
The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but humans have only walked on the planet for 190,000 years.
Prehistory is the period between the use of the first stone tools by humans and the invention of writing systems. As you may think, dinosaurs didn't exist during this time, so The Flintstones (Los Picapiedra in Spanish) gave us a wrong idea of prehistory.
