Human history, or the history of the world, is the record of events in the past, informed by many disciplines of science and humans' own writing. Note that history on this page is preliminary, and subject to change.

Prehistory

Early humans

Homo sapiens are considered to have differentiated from other related chimpanzees and bonobos around 300 thousand years ago, with the earliest evidence found in central and northern Yazland. Modern behavior likely evolved around 50 thousand years ago. Humans quickly spread over the lower sea levels into southern Ashnan, Etzavaz, and Nkungu, as well as expanding into southern Yazzerland. Expansion into Huo and Jarrunh likely took place at the climax of the last ice age, when sea levels would have been at their lowest and island chains would lead seafaring peoples to these two far-flung continents.

Early civilizations

Evidence of early civilization first appears in northern Yazland and southern Ashnan, with the domestication of various crops such as wheat, sorghum, and amaranth, and the domestication of livestock such as goats and pigs.
