後古代史
後古代史，就係大概由公元五百年到公元一千五百年呢段時間嘅歷史。 大概等於歐洲嘅中世紀。呢段時間最大嘅特色係幾個文明嘅擴張，文明同文明之間嘅貿易往來[1]。喺亞洲，伊斯蘭教嘅傳播令到新嘅帝國形成，就係伊斯蘭黃金時代。亞洲、非洲、歐洲大陸貿易來往多咗。中世紀伊斯蘭世界令到科學得到發展。東亞見證中華帝國嘅興起，對朝鮮、安南、日本有唔同程度嘅影響。佛教同新儒家思想亦都喺區內好快傳播[2]，中國發明火藥，蒙古帝國將歐亞兩個大陸連起嚟，令兩笪地方大至穩定同暢順貿易[3]。呢段時間世界嘅總人口增加一倍，大約由公元五百年嘅兩億人去到公元一千五百年嘅四億六千萬人[4]。雖然人口持續增加，亦有啲事令到到人口減少，包括蒙古帝國攻入歐洲、黑死病、 查士丁尼瘟疫咁[5]。

One reason for this abnormally slow growth was the Black Plague. This dreaded scourge was not limited to 14th century Europe. The epidemic may have begun about 542 A.D. in Western Asia, spreading from there. It is believed that half the Byzantine Empire was destroyed in the 6th century, a total of 100 million deaths."
