The time span between 1,000,000 B.C. and 1300 A.D. is vast and covers the majority of human history. While there were instances where certain societies experienced temporary economic growth, there was no sustained economic growth during this entire period. Additionally, evidence suggests that standards of living varied greatly depending on the region and time period, but overall did not show a significant improvement from 1,000,000 B.C. to 1300 A.D.
