1. 1

    Prehistoric means from a time before people wrote things down, so before there was any written history to read. Dinosaurs and early stone tools are prehistoric. In casual, joking talk, people also use "prehistoric" to mean something is extremely old-fashioned, like "this computer is prehistoric!"
