About This Item
Michael O'Mara Books Ltd, 1995 8vo (24.5 cm), XXIV, 672, [4] pp. Publisher's cloth-backed boards and dust jacket. "A popular misconception exists that the builders of teh pyramids or the cavepainters of prehistory were somehow less intelligent than we are. This simply isn't true - there is no evidence that the human brain has evolved at all in the last 50,000 years at least. Modern people are merely benefiting from 1000s of years of accumulated knowledge and experimentation, not from increased intellect' - Introduction . This books explores the origins of a whole range of inventions from the ancient and medieval worlds, dividing them into a range of subject headings, including: medicine, transportation, sex life, military technology, personal effects, urban life, agriculture, communications, and sport and leisure. A mass of interesting information presented in an accessible manner." (from the publisher's description)
