Historical Tech Tree is an interactive, visual “tech tree” that traces the development of human technology from prehistory (3 million years ago) to the present. Created by Étienne Fortier‑Dubois, it maps nearly 1,839 distinct technologies and over 2,100 connections showing how each invention builds upon previous ones.
You can explore individual technologies, view their dates, and trace lines showing their prerequisites. Unlike simplified tech trees in video games, this tool attempts historical accuracy. While tech trees in games are artful and often deterministic, this one emphasizes the complex, branching, and sometimes non-linear nature of technological evolution.
The database continues to grow. It’s continually augmented with new technologies and validated through community and academic sources.
A valuable tool for teachers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of ideas and innovation pathways.
