Too Long; Didn't Read
Recorded human history dates back to the invention of writing systems, approximately 5,300 years ago. These early writing systems were invented in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq), the Indus Valley (present-day Pakistan), and Egypt, in what is now considered the early Bronze Age. In this time period, humanity has gone through two great periods of massive change in the human condition. We are currently at the cusp of the third great period of similar massive change in the human condition.
