History of human thought spans across the history of humanity. It covers the history of philosophy, history of science and history of political thought, among others. The discipline studying it is called intellectual history.
Merlin Donald has claimed that human thought has progressed through three historic stages: the episodic, the mimetic, and the mythic stages, before reaching the current stage of theoretic thinking or culture. According to him the final transition occurred with the invention of science in Ancient Greece.
