Synopsis

Explore the evolving story of humanity through a focused collection of essays on anthropology and archaeology.

Follow the arc from crude tools to refined implements, with discussions of flint saws, sickles, and other artifacts.
Learn about prehistoric discoveries like lake-dwellings, bone skates, trepanning, and cranial amulets.
See how archaeology and environment connect to human progress through a comparative lens.
