Exploring Prehistory: Understanding the Unrecorded PastPrehistory refers to the period of time before the invention of writing and drawing, during which human activities were not recorded or documented in written form. It is the unrecorded history, and our understanding of this period is reconstructed through various sources such as songs, myths, stories, artifacts, fossils, and the language of the people. During prehistory, humans relied on oral traditions and other non-written methods of passing down knowledge and information. These methods allowed them to store and transmit important cultural practices, traditions, and values from one generation to another. Historical events, on the other hand, require recorded evidence to be considered historical facts. They must have evidence, whether written or unwritten, and they mainly concern human beings. Historical events primarily focus on past happenings and must contain elements of truth. The study of humankind's past can be organized into different categories. Social history, for example, deals with the traditions, values, and cultural practices of a particular group of people. Economic history, on the other hand, focuses on the means of livelihood such as hunting, gathering, agriculture, and other economic activities undertaken by a community. In conclusion, prehistory refers to the period of time before the invention of writing and drawing when human activities were not recorded in written form. It is through various sources and methods that we reconstruct our understanding of this period and gain insights into the lives and cultures of our ancestors.
