List of the millenia | List of the centuries
---- The 5th front millenium J. - C. covers the period going of the year -: 5000 at the year -: 4001 included. This is to take in a strict sense, no date of this period not being able to be estimated sufficiently precisely.

The 5th front millenium J. - C. belongs to the Mesolithic which is one transitional period extending from until the Neolithic , about the 5th front millenium J. - C.

Events

  • Assembled water, drowning the first coastal establishments and separating the islands from continents.
  • Discovered Metallurgy, towards {{formatnum: - 4500}} front J. - C.: the men control sufficiently fire, to carry and maintain metal at a temperature of 1000 °C and to melt together two metals: the tin and the Copper, and thus to obtain an alloy of better quality. This new invention occurs in Iran, in the south of the Spain and in Bulgaria, it is the Bronze Age

Africa

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 4100}}, in Sudan, first cultures of the Sorghum and the home-grown rice.

America S

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 5000}}
    • the culture of the water-bottle, initially originating in the Central America, is spread on the east coast of North America. The water-bottles are used as containers.
    • Beginning of the culture of corn in the valley of Tehuacán (current Mexico).
    • Beginning of agriculture in Amazonia, but in limited forms.

Asia

  • In China:
    • Towards {{formatnum: - 5000}}, development of the flooded culture of rice, attested with Hemudu, close to the Eastern coast of current China.
    • Beginning of the culture of Yangshao (approx.: - 5000 - approx.: - 1700), born in the average basin of the yellow river (southern of Shaanxi, south-west of Shanxi), and which slowly will be diffused towards the east (Henan, south of Hebei) and towards the west until Gansu and in Qinghai.
  • Towards {{formatnum: - 4500}}, in the eurasiatic steppes (Dereïvka): domestication of the horse, used for butchery and for goes up.

Europe

  • the architectural resemblances between the Megalith S of the south and the north of the Europe, of many exchanges of potteries and jewels imply the control of navigation on the Atlantic Ocean, the Manche and the the North Sea.
  • 5th-3rd Millenium: Civilization of Erteböle on the Danish coasts. The big game was decimated. The man nourishes wild bays, fishing and shells ( kokkenmodding : remains of kitchen).
  • Towards {{formatnum: - 5000}}:
    • the first objects of copper and gold are worked in the Balkans.
    • As of this time, between the the Rhine and the Handle, is installed on certain parts of the territory, the tribes originating in Central Europe. They have a lifestyle different from that of the hunters-gatherers, and start to cultivate cereals, to raise sheep, to work potteries, and to build houses which will group in villages. This new civilization is called “ribboned” because of the specific decoration of its potteries. The men of this civilization côtoient the last hunters of the Mesolithic downward of the men of Cro-Magnon, which they do not resemble.
    • the population of the French territory would be assembled to approximately: 100000 human beings and will remain stable until.

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 4500}},

    • In Eastern Europe:
      • Development of the techniques of molten and moulded copper; the objects out of copper become hierarchical symbols.
      • Of the rich person individual burials is built, containing spectacular objects (Varna), in the same way in Central Europe.
      • In the low areas of the Danube, of the draft animals is used for tilling.
    • In Western Europe, construction of the first megalithic tombs.

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 4200}}, with Aibounour and Rudna Glava, in Eastern Europe, exploitation of the first copper mines known in the world.

  • the site of the Cave of the Balsam to Fontbrégoua in the department of the VAr, in France, made it possible to discover in the layer of the Neolithic Cardial - going back a little more: 6000 years, therefore towards the end of the 5th front millenium J. - C. - traces of Anthropophagy. The analysis of the bones found in ten arranged basins made it possible to determine that three of them contained human bones treated like those of the animals. They are the remainders of ten people Brachycéphale S, victims of Dolichocéphale S, large and robust.

Oceania

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 5000}}, the sea level goes up irremediably, drowning the first coastal establishments on the Australienne coast, and separating the Tasmanie from the continent Australien. This rise of water pushes the men to be sailed and the human expansion continues towards the islands (Madagascar, New Zealand and of many Pacific Islands).

the Middle East and Arab World

  • Towards {{formatnum: - 5000}}, in Mésopotamie southernmost and central, develops the culture known as of Obeid. It controls irrigated agriculture what allows the increase in the population and more important concentrations.
  • Towards {{formatnum: - 4500}}, in Mésopotamie, first use of the Plow and first uses of the veil.

Indian sub-continent

  • Beginning of an agricultural civilization in the south of the valley of the Gange (sites of Mahagara and Tchopani-Mando): culture of the indigenous Rice and manufacture of ceramics with decoration of cords.
