The Prehistoric Ages: How Humans Lived Before Written Records:
For roughly 2.5 million years, humans lived on Earth without leaving a written
record of their lives—but they left behind other kinds of remains and artifacts.

Pre - historic times:

Earth’s beginnings can be traced back 4.5 billion years, but human evolution
only counts for a tiny speck of its history. The Prehistoric Period—or when
there was human life before records documented human activity—roughly
dates from 2.5 million years ago to 1,200 B.C. It is generally categorized in
three archaeological periods: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. From
the invention of tools made for hunting to advances in food production and
agriculture to early examples of art and religion, this enormous time span—
ending roughly 3,200 years ago (dates vary upon region)—was a period of
great transformation.
