Detailed explanation-1: -10, 000 B.C. roughly marks the beginning of human civilization. Earth’s temperatures had warmed, and the climate had stabilized. This change in climate preceded rapid growth in ecosystems, exponential growth in the human population, and exponential growth in economic activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -During this era, early humans shared the planet with a number of now-extinct hominin relatives, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. In the Paleolithic period (roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10, 000 B.C.), early humans lived in caves or simple huts or tepees and were hunters and gatherers.
Detailed explanation-3: -10, 000 BC, is believed to have been more or less stable. It has been estimated that there were some five million people at the time of the Last Glacial Maximum, growing to forty million by 5000 BC and 100 million by 1600 BC, which is an average growth rate of 0.027% p.a. from the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age.
