Historical Description
The Dawn Age is a period of time of history about the dawn of civilization, hence the name. This age revolves around the Mesolithic Era. This age begins in 12,000 BC(E) and ends at about 10,000 BC(E) with the favor of stone tools and the emergence of agriculture marking the beginning of the Stone Age. During the Dawn Age, humans have migrated throughout the world from the Levant region in Southwest Asia and settled. The humans were hunter-gatherers meaning they have to get their food from animals or the plants and fruits provided by Mother Nature. Villages were built and humans create tools to help quicken the work. The intelligence of humans increased. Tools were improved to stronger ones and new systems of getting food were created. This marked the end of the Dawn Age and the beginning of the Stone Age.
