Best Answer

Writing systems go back more than to around 4,100 years BC. However, simple tokens, the precursors to writing, have been dated to around 7,000 years BC.

Early Egyptian records show that its culture was beginning to resemble the Pharaonic ages from around 5,500 BC. The "Old" Predynastic, or Amratian period, started around 4500 BC. The first pyramids were built around 2,900 years BC.

Cave art in Europe also forms a record of human existence. This has been dated at up to 30,000 years BC.

Prior to 30,000 years ago, we must rely on the evidence provided by archaeologists, paleo-anthropologists, geologists and others. There are physical records of modern humans dating back to around 200,000 years ago.
