Outline of prehistoric technology | Wikipedia audio article
The, following, outline is, provided. As an overview, of and topical guide. To prehistoric. Technology. Prehistoric. Technology. Technology, that, predates, recorded history. History. Is the study of the past using, written records. It is also the record itself. Anything. Prior to the first written accounts of history, is prehistoric, meaning. Before, history. Including. Earlier, technologies. About. 2.5. Million years before, writing was developed. Technology. Began with the earliest hominids, who used stone, tools which, they may have used to start fires hunt, cut, food and bury their dead. Topic. Nature. Of prehistoric. Technology. Prehistoric. Technology. Can be described, as. Prehistoric. Before. We had written, records. From. The Latin, word for. Before. Prey. Prehistory. Is, the span of time before, recorded, history that. Is before, the invention of writing systems. Technology. Making. Modification. Usage. And knowledge, of tools machines. Techniques. Crafts. Systems.
