This document summarizes prehistory, ancient history, and the Middle Ages. In prehistory, humans hunted and gathered food and began cultivating plants and building settlements. In ancient history, important civilizations like the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans developed around the Mediterranean, with the Greeks establishing democracy and the Olympics while the Romans conquered territories using the Latin language. In the Middle Ages, a feudal system emerged in Europe alongside the growth of Christian kingdoms in the north and Islamic territory in the south.
