Between 1,000,000 B.C. and 1300 A.D., there is no evidence of sustained economic growth or improvement in standards of living. Human societies in this period were largely hunter-gatherer societies with minimal technology, and there was little or no improvement in productivity or living conditions over this long timescale. While there were temporary periods of innovation or advancement, such as the development of agriculture, these were not sustained or widespread enough to constitute sustained economic growth.
