Historians assume that the history of the world began in (1 _ _ ? _ _ ). World history comprises the study of archaeological and written records, from ancient times.




Prehistory began in the Paleolithic Era, or Early Stone Age, which was followed by the Neolithic Era, or New Stone Age, and the Agricultural Revolution in (2 _ _ _ _ _). (3  _ _ _ _ _) changed human history dramatically, as humans began the husbandry of plants and animals. Agriculture advanced, and most humans transitioned from a nomadic to a settled lifestyle as farmers in permanent settlements. However, (4 _ _ _ _ _), developed in some locations, especially in isolated regions with few domesticable plant species. Nomads hunted, trapped big (5 _ _ _ _ __) and small animals, caught fish, gathered shellfish, insects, wild plants (fruits, vegetables, tubers, seeds, and nuts). But the relative security and increased productivity provided by farming allowed human communities to expand into increasingly larger units, fostered by advances in (6 _ _ _ _ _).

As farming developed, grain agriculture became more sophisticated. Farmers grew tall wild grasses, for instance, early types of barley, emmer and einkorn. Historians assert that the seeds were tasty and nourishing for people. (7 _ _ _ _ _) agriculture advancement prompted a division of labour to store food between growing seasons. Labor division then led to the rise of a leisured upper class and the development of cities.

The growing complexity of human communities necessitated systems of writing and accounting. Many cities developed on the banks of rivers. The first prominent, well-developed settlements had arisen in (8 _ _ _ _ _) on the banks of the Tigris and the Euphrates, on the banks of the River Nile in (9 _ _ _ _ _) , and in the Indus River valley by 3000 B. C. Similar civilizations probably developed along the major rivers in China — the Yangtze River and (10  _ _ _ _ _) — but there is no convincing archaeological evidence for extensive urban construction.
