The Junior Detective

Marie Devers

Here’s a quick biography of how I came to be, 1

the junior lead detective who researches fearlessly. 2

The probability, I find, is just as good as coincidence 3

that I’ll find some hidden mystery by watching some events. 4

This vocation, fair and true, I stumbled on one day, 5

and the verdict was that I’d pursue each fact that comes my way.6

When I find a question that requires investigation,7

I pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation.8

I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved, 9

and always staying neutral ‘til the case is all but solved.10

Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever—11

‘til I take the case and make it my own personal endeavor.12

I interview each villain, and I never give an inch. 13

I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and flinch.14

I ensure each alibi is honest; I check each testimony, 15

and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony.16

What is pre-historic?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Explanation:

Prehistory

Span of time before recorded history

For other uses, see Prehistory (disambiguation).

For other timelines, see Timelines of world history.

Human prehistory, also known as pre-literary history, is the period between the use of the first stone tools by hominins c. 3.3 million years ago and the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared c. 5,300 years ago and it took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted. In some human cultures, writing systems were not used until the nineteenth century and, in a few, not even until the present. The end of prehistory therefore came at very different dates in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently.

Sumer in Mesopotamia, the Indus valley civilization, and ancient Egypt were the first civilizations to develop their own scripts and to keep historical records; this took place already during the early Bronze Age. Neighboring civilizations were the first to follow. Most other civilizations reached the end of prehistory during the Iron Age. The three-age system of division of prehistory into the Stone Age, followed by the Bronze Age and Iron Age, remains in use for much of Eurasia and North Africa, but is not generally used in those parts of the world where the working of hard metals arrived abruptly from contact with Eurasian cultures, such as Oceania, Australasia, much of Sub-Saharan Africa, and parts of the Americas. With some exceptions in pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas, these areas did not develop complex writing systems before the arrival of Eurasians, so their prehistory reaches into relatively recent periods; for example, 1788 is usually taken as the end of the prehistory of Australia.

The period when a culture is written about by others, but has not developed its own writing system is often known as the protohistory of the culture. By definition, there are no written records from human prehistory, so dating of prehistoric materials is crucial. Clear techniques for dating were not well-developed until the nineteenth century.

This article is concerned with human prehistory, the time since behaviorally and anatomically modern humans first appeared until the beginning of recorded history. Earlier periods are also called "prehistoric"; there are separate articles for the overall history of the Earth and the history of life before humans.
