The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory

by Kenneth L. Feder

Feder's book is an engaging and accessible introduction to our prehistoric past, which clearly presents all the major topics of human evolution, such as the creation/evolution debate, the evidence, lineage and culture of prehistoric hominids, the intellectual development of early humans and their geographical dispersion. The author gives us the current controversies as well as up-to-date archaeological findings, and the text is organized in a clear and useful structure. An excellent overview. The 4th edition is updated and considerably expanded with new material on early hominids, post-Pleistocene adaptations, the roots of complexity in Meso and South America, and far more on the evolution of the state in both Old and New world settings. 696p, many colour and b/w illus (1996, Oxford UP 4th edn 2009)
