Description

Early Civilizations of the Old World by Charles Keith Maisels examines the development of ancient Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, India and China through ecological, economic and geographical analysis. This paperback edition traces how social structures and cultural interactions emerged from the Neolithic period through the rise of the first urban civilizations. Maisels investigates the formative histories of these key ancient societies, exploring cross-cultural intersections and the factors that shaped early urbanism. The work challenges conventional historical frameworks about civilizational development, offering fresh perspectives on how these foundational cultures evolved and influenced human history across the Old World.

Key Features

Charles Keith Maisels examines the ecological and economic backgrounds that drove growth and development in each ancient civilization.

The paperback edition explores geographical factors and cross-cultural intersections that shaped interactions between early Old World societies.

This Routledge history text challenges traditional assumptions about the band-tribe-chiefdom-state sequence with alternative analytical perspectives.

The book traces development from the Neolithic period through the emergence of early urbanism and complex social structures in ancient civilizations.
