This is just another FYI posting of mine which is meant merely as a reference source; since many of the discussions here tend to wander from being based upon a basic knowledge of the subject being discussed, to that of just talking off of the top of ones head.
The following is a timeline/course study that is the standard used in most University and college curriculum, for the study of the origin and development of **Western Civilization. This curriculum, of course, is subjective and reflects Western ideology.

Prehistory to 3200 BC
1,000,000 to 35,000: Hominids
35,000 to 10,000: Paleolithic Period
8,000 to 6,500: Neolithic
3,500: Early Urban Societies

Mesopotamian Roots: 3200-465
3500-1100 BC: Mesopotamia
1100-465 BC: The Fall and Rise and Empires
Mediterranean Period from 2900 BC to AD 400
3500-550 BC: Mesopotamia and Egypt
1950 BC-AD 70: Ancient Israel
559-465 BC: Persia
2900-430 BC: Greece
753 BC-AD 1453: Rome
Medieval from AD 400-1500
500- 1000: Dark Ages
1000- 1350: High Middle Ages
1350-1500: Late Middle Ages

1400-1550: Renaissance
1517-1598: Reformation
1600-1700: Baroque
1700-1789: Enlightenment
Late Modern from 1789 to 1989
1789-1848: Age of Revolutions
1848-1914: Age of Liberalism
1914-1945: Age of World Wars
1945-1989: The Cold War

** Western is a euphemism for "White" or "European" - this isn't always obvious to everyone...
