How long is the history of mankind?
The history of mankind is extremely long, and it has gone through a long and arduous process from the original apes to the present intelligent human beings. The Chinese nation has lived for five thousand years. From the overall macro point of view, the historical process of mankind goes far beyond this.

With the further development of scientific research, experts discovered the earliest hominid fossils. It was discovered in Java, Indonesia in 189 1 year, about 600,000 ~ 800,000 years ago. What's the difference between this ape-man fossil and that found in Zhoukoudian, China? Beijingers? Fossils are recognized by the world? The earliest human in the world? . Later, with the further research, more ape-man fossils were discovered, and it took a long time to study and excavate these fossils according to bone patterns.

Everyone knows that humans evolved from apes, but from the earliest? Lamarcon? Generally speaking, the time for human beings to step onto the historical stage is even earlier, about 30 million years ago, about14 million years ago? Australopithecus? About 2 million to 3 million years ago, these apes broke away from the anthropoid species and began to evolve into humans, and the process of human civilization gradually began.

About two or three million years ago, the cerebellum of these apes began to develop and evolve. They began to understand natural phenomena, know how to think, and made some commonly used bone or stone tools. Yuanmou, Lantian and cavemen are all well known. These ancestors who did not fully evolve can be learned in history textbooks. By this time, the ancients had learned to drill wood for fire and put out the fire. About 200 thousand years ago, their intelligence was more developed, and they knew how to make clothes and cover their bodies with articles such as skins and leaves. 50,000 years ago, our ancestors had a systematic way of thinking and made exquisite tools.

As we all know, China has a history of 5,000 years, and human history includes not only western Greek culture and Mediterranean culture, but also our Eastern Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties. How long is human history? Three days and three nights are endless.
