WORLD PREHISTORY, Fourth Edition, is a unique, brief coverage of world archaeology. Designed for readers with no previ- ous experience of the subject, this clearly written, jargon-free text surveys the major developments in the early human past. Beginning with the origins of humankind, World Prehistory:

Surveys the first colonialization of the globe, the appearance of fully modern humans, and the spread of our remote ancestors throughout the Old World and into the Americas during the late Ice Age;

Describes and analyzes the origins of agriculture and civilization both in familiar areas like southwest Asia, Europe, and North America, and lesser known regions like south Asia and South America;

Covers the latest findings of early humans in East Africa, the most recent genetic discoveries, hot topics such as the division of labor and early religion, and the latest theoretical approaches.

Brian M. Fagan is an internationally known writer and archaeologist and a Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Originally an African specialist, he has focused in the last 30 years on bringing his unique and abiding interest in archaeology to a wide audience.
