Clark Grahame. World Prehistory. An Outline

Cambridge University Press, 1961. — 284 p.This is a brief and stimulating outline of the prehistory of the whole world and the development of the human race in each part of the globe, until the stage of detailed records from which history may be written. It starts at the very beginning, with the first recognizable men living their simple existence in a climate and environment almost unimaginably different from that of the present day. It follows the vast spread and slow progress of human settlement, the growth of civilization, and the beginnings of technology in the various parts of the earth; a development so uneven that in some countries Professor Clark's story ends thousands of years ago, while in others we still find 'prehistoric' peoples.Man's Place in Nature.
