Tales from the Grotto: 50 Stories from the Lives of Ancient People
It seems that we know very little about the lives of our ancestors - the first people. We have no written evidence of their history, and we can only guess about their everyday life, beliefs, and way of life from...
rare finds, burials, and settlements. Is this enough?
It turns out, yes. Stones and skulls can tell us a lot about the past: how families lived, how children grew up, how people attracted hunting luck, how they discovered new lands, how they domesticated the first animals, and even how they treated teeth. We think that the representatives of the Stone Age are infinitely far from us and that we are not at all like them, but to think so is unfair: there was much more humanity in Paleolithic people than we realize. 50 illustrated stories show that our ancestors were not just homo, but also human.
