Synopsis
Who worked out evolution? Not Darwin! Who discovered America? Not Columbus! As this fascinating, witty and surprising book reveals, we quite often attribute first in world history to the wrong people. Many 'modern' ideas and ivnestions actually date back to ancient times. The use of steroids can be traced back to the Sung Dynasty, and oral contraceptives were popular in Ancient Greece. A Communist revolution took place long before Lenin and Trotsky.
