Description

Explore the origins of human civilization with this foundational volume from Cambridge University Press. This book provides a detailed account of the remotest geological ages, offering a comprehensive look at the earliest stages of human development. Because writing had not yet been invented during these eras, the text relies on material remains to reconstruct the past. Readers will find a deep examination of the evidence concerning early humans and their physical environments. The coverage extends through the end of the Predynastic Period in Egypt and explores parallel developments across Mesopotamia, Persia, Anatolia, Palestine, Cyprus, Greece, and the Islands. This volume serves as an essential setting for understanding the cultural progress that led into the historical epoch. It is a vital resource for students and historians interested in the transition from prehistory to recorded history.
