The history of Europe is traditionally divided into four time periods: prehistoric Europe (prior to about 800 BC), classical antiquity (800 BC to AD 500), the Middle Ages (AD 500–1500), and the modern era (since AD 1500). The first early European modern humans appear in the fossil record about 48,000 years ago, during the Paleolithic era.
An important difference between Europe and other parts of the inhabited world was the northern latitude.

The genetic history of Europe includes information around the formation, ethnogenesis, and other DNA-specific information about populations indigenous, or living in Europe. European early modern human (EEMH) lineages between 40 and 26 ka ( Aurignacian ) were still part of a large Western Eurasian "meta-population", related to Central and ...
