Prehistory vs History | Full Explanation by Nikhil Sir

In this video, Nikhil Sir, GS faculty at LevelUp IAS, explains the concept of Prehistory and how it differs from the historic period defined by writing. He discusses the origins, significance, and limitations of archaeological sources while challenging Eurocentric views that dismiss pre-literate societies as primitive. The lecture introduces the concept of “deep history” and examines how oral traditions, such as the Vedas, reflect cultural richness. From the evolution of humans to the emergence of scripts like Brahmi and the purpose of early writing, this session offers a comprehensive perspective on the roots of civilization and historical thought.
