People of the Earth is a narrative account of the prehistory of
humankind from our origins over 3 million years ago to the first
pre-industrial states, beginning about 5,000 years ago. This is a
global prehistory, which covers prehistoric times in every corner
of the world, in a jargon-free style for newcomers to archaeology.
Many world histories begin with the first pre-industrial states.
This book starts at the beginning of human history and summarizes
the latest research into such major topics as human origins, the
emergence and spread of modern humans, the first farming, and the
origins of civilization. People of the Earth is unique in its even
balance of the human past, in its readily accessible style, and its
flowing narrative that carries the reader through the long sweep of
our past. The book is highly illustrated, and features boxes and
sidebars describing key dating methods and important archaeological
sites. This classic world prehistory sets the standard for books on
the subject and is the most widely used such textbook in the world.
It is aimed at introductory students in archaeology and
anthropology taking survey courses on the prehistoric past, as well
as more advanced readers. It will also appeal to students of human
responses to climatic and environmental change.
