What exactly is prehistory? Am I about to describe what things were like before we knew what they were like? Silliness. Of course we know things about prehistory.
We have evidence.
There is:
Archeological and Anthropological-- structures, tools, garbage and graves
Oral traditions that trace their history to prehistory and Music
Art and artifacts
Contemporary "Primitives"
Then we should try:
Applying Social
Sciences to prehistory
And by extropolation
apply this to our
philosophical plan to gain wisdom.
