1.1. The Stone Age
(5 000 000 B.C. – 5000 B.C.)
The Stone Age is made up of two different periods.
1. The Paleolithic period: a group of hominids slowly evolved
into human beings. They became more intelligent, starting
using language and began walking upright.
People were nomadic. They lived in caves or huts and
survive hunting, fishing and gathering food.
The most important technological advances were the
use of FIRE and the production of tools from stone and
bone.
Almudena Corrales Marbán
2. The Neolithic period: agriculture appeared as human beings began
farming and keeping livestock. People became more sedentary and started
living in small villages.
They invented techniques for making stone tools (mills),
textiles, ceramic cups and bowls.
During the Stone Age, humans (homo sapiens) produced the first examples
of artistic expression.
• Cave paintings
• Sculptures made of stone and bones
1.2. The Metal Ages
(5000 B.C.- 3000 B.C.)
Almudena Corrales Marbán
People began using metals (bronce, then copper, and finally iron) to make
tools and weapons. This new objects became symbols of social status in
many cultures. At the same time, societies became more agressive and war-
like, and built fortifications to defend themselves from attacks. After the
invention of vehicles with wheels , trade also became more common because
it was easier to transport goods such as food.

of Mesopotamia along the banks of the
Tigris and Euphrates and in the case of
Egypt along the banks of the Nile.

2.2. Classical civilisations
(2000 B.C.-476 B.C.)
Almudena Corrales Marbán
Ancient Greece and Rome developed
around the Mediterranean Sea. These
civilisations have been the classical
models for Western cultures, especially
in the areas of:
 Politics
 Law
 Languages (Latin, Greek)
 Art
The first participative governments
appeared in these civilisations:
Athens was a democracy and Rome
was a republic.
Both Greeks and the Romans
established colonies around the
Mediterranean Sea, which increased
the volume trade

3. THE MIDDLE AGES
Almudena Corrales Marbán
Three great civilisations co-existed in western Asia, North Africa and Europe.
3.1. THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE (476 A.D. – 1453 A.D.)
This empire emerged in the former Eastern Roman Empire, which
had resisted the invasions of Germanic tribes. The name of the empire came
from the name of its capital city -Byzantium- which was later renamed
Constantinople, and finally Istambul.

century A.D. and then expanded towards India, North Africa and the Iberian
Peninsula.

religion. Islam was founded by the prophet Mohammed, and its followers are
called Muslims.

3.3. CHRISTIAN EUROPE (476 A.D. – 1492 A.D.)
During the Middle Ages, Christian civilisation developed in the former
Western Roman Empire, which had collapsed after invasions by Germanic
tribes. It was a Christian civilisation because the church played a decisive role in
politics, society and culture.
The three stages in the development of Christian Europe were:
1. the rise of feudalism
2. its decline (medieval cities development) and
3. the period of economic crisis (Back Dead)
