The story of our world is a story that is still very imperfectly known."From the very beginnings of life, spanning across the age of mammals evolving into monkeys, apes, and sub-men from the Neanderthaler to the early days of human adventure from the beginnings of cultivations to priests, sages, kings, and wars and from the conquests to material knowledge, revolutions, and reconstruction of the world . . . here is a story of how life began and evolved into ‘us.’A comprehensive and compelling account of the world history, H. G. Wells’ A Short History of the World is a thought-provoking masterpiece. Constructed on an evolutionary, anthropological, and sociological basis, it is an immensely popular period piece that remains one of the most readable of its kind.
