When does history begin? What characterizes it? This brilliant and
beautifully written book dissolves the logic of a beginning based
on writing, civilization, or historical consciousness and offers a
model for a history that escapes the continuing grip of the
Judeo-Christian time frame. Daniel Lord Smail argues that in the
wake of the "Decade of the Brain" and the best-selling historical
work of scientists like Jared Diamond, the time has come for
fundamentally new ways of thinking about our past. He shows how
recent work in evolution and paleohistory makes it possible to join
the deep past with the recent past and abandon, once and for all,
the idea of prehistory. Making an enormous literature accessible to
the general reader, he lays out a bold new case for bringing
neuroscience and neurobiology into the realm of history.
