Description

This comprehensive volume represents the first major synthesis of African archaeobotany in decades, bringing together over 30 contributing scholars from 12 countries to examine how plant life shaped human evolution and social development across the African continent. The book explores the critical relationship between agriculture and social complexity, tracing humanity's journey from primate origins through the emergence of complex societies including ancient Egypt, the Buganda Kingdom, and southern African polities. With extensive illustrations and detailed analysis, this UCL Institute of Archaeology publication provides essential insights into the fundamental ways plants influenced human societies throughout African history. The work fills a significant gap in archaeological literature by synthesising current knowledge about Paleolithic archaeobotany and demonstrating the profound interconnection between botanical resources and the development of human civilisation across diverse African regions.
