The Stone Age began about 2.6 million years ago, and lasted until about 3,300 B.C. when the Bronze Age began. It is typically broken into three distinct periods: the Paleolithic Period, Mesolithic Period and Neolithic Period.

During this prehistoric era, man lived as hunter-gatherers and learned to conjure fire, domesticate mans best friend, and make stone tools and weapons.

Taking root around 12,000 years ago, agriculture triggered such a change in society and the way in which people lived that its development has been dubbed the "Neolithic Revolution." Traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyles, followed by humans since their evolution, were swept aside in favor of permanent settlements and a reliable food supply.

The Renaissance was a period of cultural, artistic, political and economic β€œrebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art. The Renaissance is credited with bridging the gap between the Middle Ages and modern-day civilization.

The Digital Revolution is the shift from mechanical and analogue electronic technology to digital electronics which began in the later half of the 20th century, with the adoption and proliferation of digital computers and digital record-keeping, that continues to the present day. Central to this revolution is the mass production and widespread use of digital logic, transistors, integrated circuit chips, and their derived technologies, including computers, microprocessors, digital cellular phones, and the Internet.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, humanity's ingenuity enabled it to transform materials like stone, bronze, and iron into useful tools. Eventually, we conquered the transformation of energy, such as steam power, electric power and combustion engines. Now our civilization enters the next phase: the transformation of information. Though at first glance not as tangible as a sword or an automobile, the transofrmation of information, that is, the mass collection of data and maniuplation of it through learning algorithms, brings about the very tangible technologies emerging today such as self driving cars.

Type 1 Civilization. People of the Singularity Age have merged their consciousness with Quantum, Artificial Intelligence. They have mastered the art of terraforming, that is, the process of turning inhospital planets into livable ecosystems.

However, at a certain point, the prospect of existing and spreading across the galaxy in physical form became less and less of a requirement. Rather, they have deciced to leave their physical beings behind and exist soley in the Meta Verse, run by quantum computers and powered by the planets.

Type 2 Civilization. Not much is knowable to us today about this age, other than this civilization has the technology to harness the energy of an entire solar system through use of the Dyson Sphere.

These non-homosapiens have adapated themselves beyond what we can understand, but curiously enough, even with their near all knowingness of their present and even their probable futures, the drive for knowledge has lead them to rediscovering the past. To do so, they run billions upon billions of simulations of universes to seek... well, we don't really know what they are seeking. But lucky for us, they have decided to do this under taking.

* In the works: once you reach this age you will have the option to 'prestige'. You will earn the prestige achievment and be sent back to the Stone Age to do it all over again.
