Features: This textbook draws on the strengths of various published versions of world history from both China and abroad, making innovations in its structure. While emphasizing the global nature of world history, it also takes into account the relatively isolated state of ancient civilizations. The book is divided into three parts:
Part I covers the primitive period of humanity, narrating the history of humans' transformation into modern humans.
Part II covers early civilizations and the classical era, describing the origins and initial development of agrarian civilizations around the world, as well as the achievements of the peak periods of ancient civilizations.
Part III covers the world divided by regions, narrating the historical development of humanity from approximately 500 AD to approximately 1500 AD.
