The World Of Ancient Man Anthropology Paperback Book by I.W. Cornwall 1966
HOW MAN LIVED...
A HALF A MILLION YEARS AGO
In this intriguing study a distinguished scholar reconstructs the world of primitive man with the probing skill and suspense of a master detective.
Utilizing recent archaeological discoveries, the author's inquiry into the dawn of time uncovers some puzzling and fascinating facts:
he tells why man and ape diverged; how man adapted to an arctic climate; why America was unpeopled before the last ice age; why painting first appeared in southwest Europe.
He shows exactly how plants, animals, land formations, and climates were the crucial forces in the development of Neolithic and Mesolithic cultures.
Here is a unique picture of human society in a time when man was subject to, rather than ruler of, his total environment.
