Recommend sources for human culture/civilization history from 10,000 B.C. to 5,000 B.C.?
Most of the top search results and Wikipedia entries tap out on cultures prior to ~5,000-~3,000 B.C.
Of course there are stand alone pages such as
Neolithic_founder_crops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_agriculture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_agriculture
Chalocolithic Period https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcolithic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcolithic

- ryansmccoy 6y agoJoe Rogan had some interesting guys, Graham Hancock & Randall Carlson, that talked about lost civilizations due to asteroid in 10,000 BC. Sounded like there is some controversy around it though, so take it however you'd like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDejwCGdUV8&t=781s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDejwCGdUV8&t=781s

- danans 6y ago> Most of the top search results and Wikipedia entries tap out on cultures prior to ~5,000-~3,000 B.C. This is mostly because the evidence that links places to cultures taps out before around 5000BCE. There is of course evidence of large scale settlements prior to that time, but we have little hard evidence about how those map to peoples or cultures, living or extinct, due to lack of artifacts that definitively tie them to a particular culture. After that, we are left with things like projecting population migrations from linguistic evidence. Perhaps the closest we might find are the remains of 10-30k year old indigenous settlements in Australia, of which we can be fairly confident of at least the set of cultures that produced them.
