These developments paved the way for the [[Cradle of civilization|emergence of early civilizations]] in [[Mesopotamia]], [[Ancient Egypt|Egypt]], the [[Indus Valley]], and [[History of China|China]], marking the beginning of the [[Ancient period]] in 3500 BCE. These civilizations supported the establishment of regional empires and acted as a fertile ground for the advent of transformative philosophical and religious ideas, initially [[Hinduism]] during the late [[Bronze Age]], and later [[Buddhism]], [[Confucianism]], [[Greek philosophy]], [[Jainism]], [[Judaism]], [[Taoism]], and [[Zoroastrianism]] during the [[Axial Age]]. The following [[Post-classical history|post-classical period]], from about 500 to 1500 CE, witnessed the rise of [[Islam]] and the continued spread and consolidation of [[Christianity]] while civilization expanded to new parts of the world and trade between societies increased. These developments were accompanied by the rise and decline of major empires, such as the [[Byzantine Empire]], the [[Caliphate|Islamic Caliphates]], the [[Mongol Empire]], and various [[Dynasties of China|Chinese dynasties]]. This period's invention of [[gunpowder]] and of the [[printing press]] greatly affected subsequent history.
 
During the [[early modern period]], spanning from approximately 1500 to 1800 CE, [[Age of Discovery|European powers explored]] and [[Colonization|colonized]] regions worldwide, intensifying cultural and economic exchange. This era saw substantial intellectual, cultural, and technological advances in Europe driven by the [[Renaissance]], the [[Scientific Revolution]], and the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]]. By the 18th century, the accumulation of knowledge and technology had reached a [[Critical mass (sociodynamics)|critical mass]] that brought about the [[Industrial Revolution]], substantial to the [[Great Divergence]], and began the [[modern period]] starting around 1800 CE. The rapid growth in productive power further increased [[international trade]] and [[colonization]], linking the different civilizations in the process of [[globalization]], and cemented European dominance throughout the 19th century. Over the last quarter-millennium, despite the devastating effects of two [[world war]]s, there has been a great acceleration in the rates of growth of many domains, including [[Population growth|human population]], agriculture, industry, commerce, scientific knowledge, technology, communications, military capabilities, and [[environmental degradation]].
 
The study of human history relies on insights from academic disciplines including [[history]], [[archaeology]], [[anthropology]], [[linguistics]], and [[genetics]]. To provide an accessible overview, researchers divide human history by a variety of periodizations.
