Simple Timeline of Human History: This simple timeline of human history was produced to coincide with my Primary School Prehistory (Stone Age to Iron Age) school workshop. This timeline briefly charts 300,000 years of human history. We start in Prehistory, including the age(s) of stone (there were at least three, depending on where in the world you are) and continue through the Bronze Age and Iron Age in to… History (when people started writing things down) with the Romans, Saxons & Vikings and so on… The timeline has a UK focus and contains a selection of key notes and dates along the way, plus visual summary of the proportion of human history for which, we have relied on stone tool technology (hint: more than 99%)!
