Editorial Review:
This History of Humanity reflects the shift from Eurocentric views of culture to a more global perspective, providing readers with a broader picture of different world cultures. Subscribing to no particular philosophy of history, this collection includes chapters on Chinese, African and Indian as well as Western perceptions of history and the historical philosophy.The first volume of the History of Humanity covers the period from the origins of humankind to the invention of writing and the advent of the first states, some 5,000 years ago. The 59 articles that make up the work are organized into two main sections, structured chronologically. Part 1 covers anthropogenesis to the beginnings of food production; Part 2 covers the beginnings of food production to the first states.
