CINCO: Three age system: stone age, bronze age, iron age
1.
It is the classification of past into time periods Stone
Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age
2.
This classification was espoused in the 19th century in
order to chronologically arrange artifacts, incidents and relics of late
prehistory and early history
3.
In 1788–1865 the director of the Royal Museum of Nordic
Antiquities, Denmark C. J. Thomsen develop this
4.
As the periods are differentiated by the progress and
advance of technology, the years to which these denote differ in various parts
of the world
5.
In 2,500,000 BC Homo habilis was the first species of
human evolving in Sub-Saharan Africa.
6.
Homo habilis created stone tools and thus began stone
age
7.
The stone age had three subdivisions
a.
Old Stone Age / Paleolithic. 260,000 years ago
saw the first known tool use at the end of the last Ice Age. Humans were
hunter-gatherers; Spanned over ninety percent of human existence. Different
species of Homo appeared and in 200,000 BC Homo sapiens evolved in Sub-Saharan
Africa, the other species including the ones who migrated to Europe perished. Human
showed primitive behavior. Most of the inhabitable world was colonized
including the Americas via the Bering land bridge. This age can be divided into
three parts:
Lower Paleolithic (260,000- 250,000 BC) - archaic human
species, tools used were simple cores and flaked pieces
Middle Paleolithic (250,000- 30,000 BC)- archaic and modern
human species existing together, tools had attaching points and handle like
structure
Upper Paleolithic - worldwide growth of modern humans, extinction of
archaic humans and admixture (Neanderthals) with modern humans, development
of pictorial art, improved tool combined with bone, antler, and ivory
b.
Middle Stone Age / Mesolithic, Human was transitioning to
agricultural life when the last glacial period ended and farming-conducive
climate started. Human showed behavioural
modernity in the form of complex ideas and creativity giving rise to, religion,
art, government and technology.
c.
New Stone Age / Neolithic (10,000 BC-0), Human fully
transitioned to agriculture. Neolithic age began in 10,000 BC Mesopotamia, 7000
BC in Greece, 5000 BC in India; 3000 BC in Britain marked by urbanization, domestic-able
plants and animals like goats, sheep, pigs and horses.
8.
The Bronze Age: Use of bronze became very prominent
with the development of extracting metal from ore. Use of copper gave rise to Chalcolithic
or Copper Age. Copper was soft metal, combined with tin formed a harder alloy
bronze probably first in Sumer. The bronze age lasted from 3000 to 1000 BC in
Southwest Asia. By 2000 BC bronze age started in Eurasia but did not spread
beyond Sahara Desert. In pre-colonial Americas, the bronze age reached only by
the Inca. Humans developed the first writing systems and invented the wheel. Bronze
Age saw the rise of large societies, states and kingdoms like Sumer and
Babylonia, Athens. There was huge development in trade and warfare. Bronze age
started in British Isle in 1900 BC and in China in 1700 BC
9.
In 1000 BC iron age started in Southwest Asia ca. 1000
BC with the production of very hot smelting pit to smelt iron ore as many Bronze
Age civilizations, like Mycenaean and Hittite Empire collapsed. By 500 BC, iron
age started in most of Eurasia. The iron age spread to North Africa, and also
across sub-Saharan Africa by 1 BC. As iron was abundant mass-production of
metal tools began revolutionizing agriculture and warfare. The Hittites probably
first created harder alloy steel by combining iron with carbon in present day
