For courses in Introduction to Archaeology, World Prehistory, Human Antiquity, Archaeology, and a supplement for courses in Introduction to Anthropology and Physical Anthropology. Written by one of the leading archaeological writers in the world-in a simple, jargon-free narrative style-this brief, well-illustrated account of the major developments in the human past (from the origins of humanity to the origins of literate civilization) makes world prehistory uniquely accessible to complete beginners.

The main focus is on four major developments-the origins of humanity; the appearance and spread of modern humans before and during the late Ice Age, including the first settlement of the Americas; the beginnings of food production; and the rise of the first civilizations.
