Ancient Civilizations: The Evolution Of Athenian Democracy

We are humans. Civilized humans to be more specific. But we were not always so civilized. From the beginning of times, men kind have developed incredibly a lot. We evolved from cavemen, and went through so many phases to be who we are right now. One of the phases we went through was called hunter gatherers. How did we evolve from that?
About 2.5 million years, humans lived as hunter gatherers, which consisted of humans who lives by hunting wild animals and gathering plants.

Yet some things are still preserved, not only in the remaining gatherers, but with us humans. We changed in customs, culture, language, writing style, and even more yet we never stop for a second and think of how much humans have
