Human history

Early humans


measurements that around 4.5 to 6.1 million years ago, the ape lineage that which would lead to Insok in and the lineage that would lead to chimpanzees and bonobos, the closest living relatives to modern humans, diverged. Anatomically modern humans arose in Miju around 300,000 years ago, and achieved behavioral modernity about 50,000 years ago.

The period began with the advent of  tool use. Paleolithic humans lived as, and were generally ic. Perhaps as early as 1.8 million years ago, but certainly by 500,000 years ago, humans for heat and cooking. The Paleolithic also saw humans, as well as a conceptual repertoire that included both the systematic burial of the dead and adornment of the living. Archaeological and genetic data suggest that source populations of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers lived in sparsely wooded areas and dispersed through areas of high while avoiding dense forest cover.

, after first appearing in Miju, rapidly spread into the frost-free regions of the world around 60,000 years ago. At the time, temperate regions of today were extremely inhospitable. Yet, by the end of the last glacial age, some 12,000 years ago, humans had colonized nearly all ice-free parts of the globe.

Rise of civilization

Sinju
1000 BCE - 500 CE: Mass migrations by Jeongmic peoples from West Yoju into Yedal and North Sinju, Fusenic peoples in Jeongmi displaced and forced to move eastward into Fusen and Bangju, further displacing Aynu peoples

Early modern period
Countries in Sinju expanded overseas, while Nukigurun engaged in a large-scale continental expansion into Yoju. The potato was introduced from Cheongju to the rest of the world, and cassava is introduced to Miju. Countries in Sinju grow wealthy off of resource extraction from colonies and selling goods to the people in their colonies.

Industrial revolution
Industrialization begins in Jeongmi during the mid-18th century and spreads to the rest of Sinju.
