Auke de Haan: Scary Stone Age History Facts, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Stone Age is often imagined as a simple, primitive time, but the reality is one of the most formative and surprisingly violent periods in human history. Scary Stone Age History Facts examines the darker realities of life before recorded civilization: ritual violence, warfare, cannibalism, and the brutal struggle for survival that shaped our earliest ancestors. Drawing on archaeological evidence from sites around the world, it presents a frank and informative picture of what prehistoric life was actually like.

The book covers the full range of the Stone Age, from the Lower Palaeolithic through to the Neolithic and the early Bronze Age transition, examining evidence from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Each entry presents documented archaeological findings with enough context to explain their significance, making the book both educational and genuinely thought-provoking. Readers will come away with a very different view of human prehistory.
