Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique approach to ancient history, focusing on the everyday lives of people rather than just the grand narratives of wars and rulers. It delves into the development of civilization, starting with prehistoric man and his earliest tools, and tracing the gradual emergence of complex societies through the domestication of plants and animals, the invention of pottery, and the development of language. The book explores how these early civilizations in the Tigris-Euphrates valley and along the Mediterranean coast laid the groundwork for the later empires of Greece and Rome, revealing how their ideas, social structures, and even everyday practices have left a lasting legacy on our world. The author's emphasis on the gradual, yet impactful, progress of humanity provides a refreshing perspective on the past, showcasing the interconnectedness of ancient and later civilizations and reminding us that the foundations of our modern world were built upon the ingenuity and perseverance of those who came before us.
