Prehistory refers to the time period before the invention of writing, while history covers events after the development of written records. Prehistory includes the study of early humans, their evolution, and ancient civilizations, while history focuses on recorded events, cultures, and societies. The main difference lies in the availability of written sources for documenting and studying these periods.
Studying prehistory focuses on societies and cultures before written records existed, relying on artifacts and physical evidence. In contrast, studying history involves analyzing written records to understand past events and societies. Prehistory often utilizes archaeological methods to reconstruct the past, while history relies on documented accounts.
Prehistory is the term used to describe the time before written human history, which is only knowable through archaeology.
A detective is an investigator who solves crimes and gathers evidence for legal purposes, while an archaeologist studies human history and prehistory through excavation and analysis of artifacts. Detectives focus on solving present-day crimes, while archaeologists study past cultures and civilizations.
The main types of history include political history (focuses on governments and rulers), social history (examines society and culture), economic history (studies economic systems and development), and cultural history (explores art, literature, and ideas). Other types include military history, environmental history, and gender history.
