The concept of "prehistory" is today out of date.It is a kind of meataphysics otiginated in early 19.century,conected with Thomsens "Three Age System" and with Darwins theory,too.It describes a part of human past whih is ,supposedly,out of our experience,like the "primtiive"peoples in that times.

  Moderm sciemtific-technological revolution allows deeper investigations of the old past.On the other side,our orientation to the future needs the higher level of historical abstraction which will result with establishing of ecology as dominant approach to the life - instead of economy and profit.

 The boundary of prehistory have to be replaced from 6000 years or minor to 40000 years or more.So we will be able to adopt the whole of human experience.

 In my blog http://histanthr.blogspot.com  I discuss that isssues.
