Hunting and gathering, horticultural, pastoral, agricultural, industrial, and post-industrial are the six major stages of human development from 3,000,000 years ago to the present. The hunting and gathering stage involved nomadic tribes who hunted and gathered food. The agricultural stage saw the development of permanent settlements and large-scale farming around 5,000 years ago. The industrial stage from the late 18th to mid 19th century was driven by new sources of energy and machinery. The current post-industrial stage since 1973 focuses on information technology and a service-based economy.
