...Prehistory (Latin, præ = before Greek, ιστορία = history) is a term used to describe the period before recorded history. Paul Tournal originally coined the term Pré-historique in describing the finds he had made in the caves of southern France. It came into use in French in the 1830s to describe the time before writing, and the word "prehistoric" was introduced into English by Daniel Wilson in 1851. Read full entry

Whats the difference between I wrote down prehistory in my
notes as: when there is a
comprehensible language then
its prehistory, and if we
can't figure out their written
language, then its not
considered prehistory. But
apparently I thought I would
remember when its considered
history. But I don't. Anyone
know?

Prehistory and history have been traditionally used in anthropology / archaeology and continue to be accepted, but they are also loaded terms and can be considered discriminatory by different communities. As stated above, prehistory is considered a time before a written record while history begins with a written record. Symbolism, such as rock paintings and engravings are generally not considered to be a written record. Prehistory implies that those groups who did not have a written record (but perhaps a rich oral tradition) existed before real history began. It seperates these groups from those who did have an "historic" record. In North America, a number of archaeologists have replaced the word prehistory with precontact, meaning before the time that outsiders contacted the original inhabitants of the Americas. It seems to be gaining acceptance, and is generally favoured among Aboriginal communities. My background is in archaeology I've worked with a number of indigenous communities, who have expressed these concerns. |

How well do you think a person Lets just say that it was
possible to bring a 2 year
child born in the prehistory
time period into our modern
time. How well do you think
that child would do in our
school system?
Would they do better than the
average kid or worse? And why
do you think that?

If they were a modern human (an actual homo sapien, not a homo erectus, or other species) then there is no reason that they would perform just as well as any other child. But since speech and language are formed earlier than 2, I'd suggest them starting as an infant. A 2yr old would first have to learn our current language, and that would set them back a few months. |
