Ancient Human Civilization
Unknown-105 000 years B.C
The Human race was origanally based on Erde Tyrene (Earth) and became a tier one civilization (the peak of technological advancement) with their capital planet being Charum Hakkor. They were originally wiped out in the Human-Forerunner war, being destroyed by a combination of Flood and forerunner attacks, they were confined to earth and an unnamed shield world, as well as the ark.
105 000- 60 000 B.C (aprox.)
They were forced to live on Erde Tyrene and were reduced to a tier four civilization. They became tribal, and were divided into many different species. The only reason the human race survived the Human-Forerunner wars was the work of the forerunner lifeworker known as the Librarian. She genetically coded the entire human race with "geas" or instructions. After the extinction of the forerunners and the firing of the halo arrays (during which the existing humans on Earth were killed), the humans that were protected on unnamed shield worlds were transported back to earth automatically.
60 000-500 B.C
Human civilization was reduced to the tribal stage and was seperated into different species once again, clinging to existance until one species, Homo Sapiens dominated the rest. Not many records survive of this time, and they are all from recent stages.
500 B.C - 1500 A.D
The human race divided into factions, or empires. They built vast cities, expanded on trade routes and fought wars with their neighbours. They were now a tier 5-6 civilisation, on the rebound from global decadence. Many empires rose and fell, but the most technologically advanced civilisations were based in Europe and China. Several different religions grew in popularity in this age, dominating science and culture for hundreds of years.
The European cultures expanded across Earth's many oceans, creating global trade networks and contacting other civilisations creating empires of wealth and military might. Technology started to defy religion with new tools to spur education and free will. Science developed strongly, with electronic energy discovered and controlled, as well as theories (incorrect theories), stating things such as evolution, and survival of the fittest. Although evolution was correct, the fact that humans were decended from monkeys was not. The industrialisation period was the era during which humanity created a power source, refined mechanics, as well as the most revolutionary military technology; the gun.
--During this era the UN is formed, this will later expand into the UNSC
After the industrialization of the world, humanity developed military technologies at a rate much faster than that of previous ages, with machine guns, rifles, chemical weapons and aircraft. After the end of the first world war, the UN was formed, a collection of countries that have similar wills. During the second world war, the first nuclear weapons are developed, and were the cause of the so-called "cold war", a war that never happened, but could have caused the destruction of human civilization once and for all. Luckily, no missiles were ever fired AT the enemy, only tested in mass by several countries in multiple locations. Computers and AI were developed in the late 20th century to the mid 21st century, when the first sentient AI was created. Weaponry became more advanced, and space flight was made more possible, with the invention of the Shaw-Fujikawa slipspace engine.
