We know a surprising amount about how people lived before the written word. This strikingly visual book combines photographs of artifacts created by ancient humans with brilliant illustrations, and is guaranteed to appeal to students of all ages. Readers learn about the lives of early humans, from the invention of tools to their religious beliefs. They’ll see that we’ve been a highly inventive species all along.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 5-8–Diagrams, numerous reproductions of art and artifacts, and cutaway drawings of structures and artifacts embellish each page of these introductions. Topics such as daily life, religion, trade, and art and music are covered in two- to three-page chapters that begin with a single-paragraph introduction and feature numerous captioned illustrations, some of which are analyzed for content, symbolism, and importance. However, crowded page layouts, limited background information, and a mismatch between a high reading level and a more elementary appearance and text length make this set only minimally useful for reports.
