Features: This book introduces a vast audience to the fact that 10,000 years ago, humans were nomadic, finding shelter and food in nature. They hunted, gathered, lived in one place, and died in another. Then, new Neolithic cultures originating from certain regions in the East brought a different way of life. Humans began to fell trees with stone axes, built houses with wood, stone, and mud, and invented pottery. They created complex tools to modify the food provided by nature. Humans cultivated plants, domesticated animals, and even created gods in their own image.
