This excellent introductory textbook describes and explains the
origins of modern culture- the dawn of agriculture in the Neolithic
area. Written in an easy-to-read style, this lively and engaging
book familiarizes the reader with essential archaeological and
genetic terms and concepts, explores the latest evidence from
scientific analyses as varied as deep sea coring, pollen
identification, radiometric dating and DNA research, condensing
them into an up-to-date academic account, specifically written to
be clear even the novice reader. Focusing primarily on sites in
southwest Asia, Neolithic addresses questions such as: Which plants
and animals were the first to be domesticated, and how? How did
life change when people began farming? What were the first villages
like? What do we know about the social, political and religious
life of these newly founded societies? What happened to human
health as a result of the Neolithic Revolution? Lavishly
illustrated with almost a hundred images, this enjoyable book is an
ideal introduction both for students of archaeology and for general
readers interested in our past.
