　　In Prehistory, the award-winning archaeologist and renowned

scholar Colin Renfrew covers human existence before the advent of

written records–the overwhelming majority of our time here on

earth–and gives an incisive, concise, and lively survey of the

past, and of how scholars and scientists labor to bring it to

light.

Renfrew begins by looking at prehistory as a discipline,

detailing how breakthroughs such as radiocarbon dating and DNA

***ysis have helped us to define humankind’s past–how things have

changed–much more clearly than was possible just a half century

ago. As fo***hy things have changed, Renfrew pinpoints some of the

issues and challenges, past and present, that confront the study of

prehistory and its investigators. Renfrew then offers a summary of

human prehistory from early hominids to the rise of li***te

civilization that is refreshingly free of conventional wisdom and

grand “unified” theories.

In this invaluable account, Colin Renfrew delivers a meticulously

researched and passionately argued chronicle about our life on

earth–and our ongoing quest to understand it.
