This book tells the story of humankind as producers and reproducers
from the Paleolithic to the present. Renowned social and cultural
historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks brings a new perspective to world
history by examining social and cultural developments across the
globe, including families and kin groups, social and gender
hierarchies, sexuality, race and ethnicity, labor, religion,
consumption, and material culture. She examines how these
structures and activities changed over time through local processes
and interactions with other cultures, highlighting key developments
that defined particular eras such as the growth of cities or the
creation of a global trading network. Incorporating foragers,
farmers and factory workers along with shamans, scribes and
secretaries, the book widens and lengthens human history. It makes
comparisons and generalizations, but also notes diversities and
particularities, as it examines the social and cultural matters
that are at the heart of big questions in world history today.
