Humans have always been interested in their origins, but historians
have been reluctant to write about the long stretches of time
before the invention of writing. In fact, the deep past was left
out of most historical writing almost as soon as it was discovered.
This breakthrough book, as important for readers interested in the
present as in the past, brings science into history to offer a
dazzling new vision of humanity across time. Team-written by
leading experts in a variety of fields, it maps events, cultures,
and eras across millions of years to present a new scale for
understanding the human body, energy and ecosystems, language,
food, kinship, migration, and more. Combining cutting-edge social
and evolutionary theory with the latest discoveries about human
genes, brains, and material culture, "Deep History" invites
scholars and general readers alike to explore the dynamic of
connectedness that spans all of human history.
With Timothy Earle, Gillian Feeley-Harnik, Felipe
Fernandez-Armesto, Clive Gamble, April McMahon, John C. Mitani,
Hendrik Poinar, Mary C. Stiner, and Thomas R. Trautmann
