In this book, Deborah Barsky offers a long-term evolutionary perspective on human culture and its relationship with technology. Using scientific information and examples from the global archaeological record, she follows the remarkable human journey from the early phases of prehistory and shows how it has led humans to a dangerously uncertain future. Her archaeological approach enables a fresh perspective regarding important issues that plague contemporary society, such as racism, the digital revolution, human migrations, terrorism, and war. Written in an accessible style, Barsky's book demonstrates how insights into the distant past serve as a tool for understanding the present and building a sustainable future for all life on planet Earth"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Antiquities, Prehistoric. 650 0 $a Prehistoric peoples. 650 0 $a Archaeology. 650 6 $a Archeologie. 650 7 $a archaeology. $2 aat 650 7 $a Antiquities, Prehistoric. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810762 650 7 $a Archaeology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812938 650 7 $a Prehistoric peoples. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075242 776 08 $i Online version: $a Barsky, Deborah, 1962- $t Human prehistory $b First Edition. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781009025492 $w (DLC) 2021035079 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6FA534896FD11ED8856CD373CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
