Prehistoric. So why is the History Channel featuring a show about prehistory? Please, it’s bad enough that it’s the “Hitler Channel” half the time.

In brief: if it’s from a time before written records, it’s not history anymore, it’s prehistory. Archeology, anthropology, paleontology, etc. all apply, but not history. Leave shows about prehistory to the Discovery Channel.
