Beschreibung
PREHISTORY begins by looking at the discovery of a remote human past and the subsequent dramatic growth of the study of prehistory: early archaeology; geology; Darwin's ideas of evolution; cave paintings; radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis. Renfrew challenges the conventional assumption of an all-important "human revolution" 40,000 years ago - when Homo Sapiens first appeared in Europe- and suggests that the key developments were much later. The author's case-studies range widely, from the Balkans, to the Indus Valley and from Ireland to China, and provide fresh insights on landmark monuments such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Valley of the Kings.
