Prehistory is the period of time that runs from the appearance of the first hominids, ancestors of Homo sapiens, to the earliest written documents of which there is documentation.

Although it is not such a specific interval at a scientific level, it has served as a reference for researchers and many writers fascinated by the subject.

This period can be placed from the Near East to 3300 BC, and later in the rest of the planet. Therefore, it is usual for authors who address this subject to be set during these dates. This primeval world, full of dangers and secrets, has been presented by some of the most brilliant and imaginative minds in the world in some of the best books.
