Way back on ancient ages we have three-age-system (the stone age, bronze and iron age)

it is classified based on the tool that they are using. As time goes by the development of the tools
is dynamically improving. The Stone Age era is marked by the invention and use of stone tools.
Early human ancestors (Homo Sapien) used stone as the basic tools to hunt and to make food. On
the Stone Age we have the Paleolithic (Old Stone)—under of Paleolithic are lower, middle and
upper Paleolithic Period, we also have the Mesolithic (Middle Stone) and last is the Neolithic
Period (New Stone). Their way of living is too simple, to live and to survive. They are in the
place where there is food and other resources they needed, they were called nomads before. As
time passed the progress for livelihood was seen little by little. They are the first one who used
fire, create their clothing, ornaments also make their own food as form of planting crops,
domesticating of animals, and agricultural activities is also expanded, from a nomadic way to
permanent setting. Since the progression is undeniably fast, people in the next era also
contributed by creating a tool a lot stronger than a stone that is made of smelting-materials; the
bronze and iron tools, the birth of Bronze ( tools are made of copper and bronze) and Iron Age.
The characteristic of these two ages are more steps ahead than the Stone Age that makes the way
of living much easier than the previous era. On Bronze Age, metals are obtained from ores
though smelting. Bronze consist of 88% copper and 12% tin. This era is a naissance of an
organized government and warfare, as well as the beginnings of religion. Similar to Bronze era,
Iron Age metals are obtained through smelting but in much higher point of melting than the
bronze. At this time, Iron was seen more precious than gold. In this era, agricultural tools are
more advance so it is a lot easier to do all the agricultural activities than the previous period.

The birth of human being happened many years ago. As time goes by the evolution of
human being plays a significant role in our history as the way of living is also evolving. Our
great-great ancestor existence made a great impact on what we are now and on what we have
today. On the process of human evolution, the mind expanded its knowledge, the physical
features adapting its environment also the livelihood makes it easier. It’s indeed change is the
only constant in the world. Change is inevitable. No matter what you are going to do, no one can
stop change.
