DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ...Age, which seem to have come from the East. These, the men of Solutre, were remarkable for their extraordinary skill in the art of flint-working. Their spearheads of the " laurel-leaf" and "willow-leaf" patterns are certainly the most beautiful weapons ever formed out of so stubborn a material (see p. 163). As M. Breuil has shown, the distribution of the remains of the men of Solutre seem to point to an immigration from the East. Characteristic finds are those of Oicow (Russian Poland), Hungary, Moravia, Bavaria. One might even suspect that they invaded France by the historic gateway at Belfort, and thence spread round the central plateau. They did not actually enter the Pyrenees, but seem to have passed to the west of them as far south as Santander in Spain. If these Solutreans are represented by the brachycephalous skulls of Furfooz, Grenelle, and La Truchere, then they were but the forerunners of Neolithic invaders, and even of those of much later date, such as the Sarmatians (200 B.C.), Slavs (a.d. 500-600), Tartars (a. D. I 300), and of all sorts and varieties of ferocious nomad horsemen--Huns, Avars, Magyars, Turks, and the like--whose mission it seems to have been to utterly destroy the tainted and corrupt civilizations of Europe and Asia. The Solutr6ans seem to have left Europe even before the Magdalenians, as would be but natural if they were a Steppe people following the migrations of the reindeer. In that case they would travel eastward, and would become mixed up with other brachycephalous people of Central Asia. M. Breuil suggests in a recent paper that there was perhaps in West and Central Siberia an independent development of industry, owing something perhaps to the Aurignacian, but distinct and without...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn Prehistory, the award-winning archaeologist and renowned scholar Colin Renfrew covers human existence before the advent of written records–which is to say, the overwhelming majority of our time here on earth. But Renfrew also opens up to discussion, and even debate, the term “prehistory” itself, giving an incisive, concise, and lively survey of the past, and how scholars and scientists labor to bring it to light. Renfrew begins by looking at prehistory as a discipline, particularly how developments of the past century and a half–advances in archaeology and geology; Darwin’s ideas of evolution; discoveries of artifacts and fossil evidence of our human ancestors; and even more enlightened museum and collection curatorship–have fueled continuous growth in our knowledge of prehistory. He details how breakthroughs such as radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis have helped us to define humankind’s past–how things have changed–much more clearly than was possible just a half century ago. Answers for why things have changed, however, continue to elude us, so Renfrew discusses some of the issues and challenges past and present that confront the study of prehistory and its investigators. In the book’s second part, Renfrew shifts the narrative focus, offering a summary of human prehistory from early hominids to the rise of literate civilization that is refreshingly free from conventional wisdom and grand “unified” theories. The author’s own case studies encompass a vast geographical and chronological range–the Orkney Islands, the Balkans, the Indus Valley, Peru, Ireland, and China–and help to explain the formation and development of agriculture and centralized societies. He concludes with a fascinating chapter on early writing systems, “From Prehistory to History.” In this invaluable, brief account of human development prior to the last four millennia, Colin Renfrew delivers a meticulously researched and passionately argued chronicle about our life on earth, and our ongoing quest to understand it.
