A wonderfully concise and authoritative summary of research into this enormous subject

1. 4/5

   Detta är en mycket intressant bok. Colin Renfrew är en högt respekterad forskare som bland annat satt fokus på det faktum att det för knappt två hundra år sedan inte "fanns" någon förhistoria. Med Bibelns tidsperspektiv, som var det enda som fick finnas, fanns inte människan "före historien". Skuggan av det tänkesättet ligger fortfarande över de flesta människors vardagstänkande.
