Question

The majority of the events listed on the timeline occur after 10,000 B.C.E. a. How does the work of historians and archaeologists help explain why we know more about recent events than ones that occurred earlier?

Answer 1

Most of the historical events of which we are aware occurred after 10,000 BC. This is so because approximately at that historical moment the process of sedentarization of societies began to occur, that is, from that moment human groups stop organizing as small nomadic groups of hunters to begin to form the first stable settlements, which with the passage of time they would begin to develop as cities and later as great civilizations.

Thus, with the organization of the first large human groups, a common history began to develop on their part, which later began to be documented with the appearance of the first methods of information gathering and, later, with the development of writing systems.
