The Great Big Timeline

This is the great big timeline where everything on the scale of nations should be put down.

-15,000: All of the races exist at this point, some have spread across the globe. Most live as hunter gatherers or otherwise as more intelligent animals

-10,000: The Agricultural revolution happens. Most races experience at roughly the same point the means to settle down and grow food rather than hunt it. Plants and animals across the globe begin to be domesticated.

-7,000: The first permanent cities begin to emerge. Most are in numbers lower than 1,000 but they allow the people in them to specialize much further than they ever could in hunter gatherer groups.

-3,000 The very first large civilizations begin to crop up in river valleys across the continents.

-800 Complex cultures and nations begin to arise in the wake of the collapse of the river valley civilizations. City States, small nations, and large empires begin to take hold and flourish across the world. Universal religions begin to crop up and convert whole civilizations to their teachings.
