The Early Human World ReviewThis has to be the greatest series on ancient history! When have you come across a series of history books that presents things in a fun, detailed, often humorous way? My children talk about the chapters we read long after we are done with our lessons. They retain the facts and love the time we spend learning them. I was looking for a series with a different approach to history textbooks, when I came across The World in Ancient Times series. Those books are everything I had hoped for and more:
captivating, easy to read, full of wonderful anecdotes, and pictures. They have a secular approach to history, with attention to details so well put together I read them ahead of the kids just for the fun of it! This first volume starts from the beginning with the origin of earth and ends with human settlements in North America (about 1000 years ago). These books are comparable in tone and excellence to the Joy Hakim series of historical science books (Aristotle Leads the Way) which we are using as well.The Early Human World OverviewA six-million-year-old jaw bone in Ethiopia proves to be a piece of the earliest hominid discovered-so far. Big Mama, who used a tree branch to escape from a zoo in Holland, is found sipping chocolate milk at a local restaurant. Nandy, a 50,000-year-old skeleton surrounded by flower pollen in Iraq, casts doubt on the beastly reputation of an early hominid. Found frozen in the Alps, Ötzi reveals what people in Europe ate 5,000 years ago. Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba, a chimpanzee, a Neandertal, and the Iceman are just some of the characters who make up The Early Human World.Peter Robertshaw and Jill Rubalcaba tell the story of early human life using an incredible variety of primary sources: 3.5-million-year-old footprints preserved by a volcano provide evidence of our ancestors' walking on two legs. Stone flakes fashioned 2 million years ago prove early hominids used tools. Bears, lions, and rhinoceroses painted in a cave 30,000 years ago reveal our ancestors' artistic side. An 8,500-year-old dog grave shows the extraordinarily long history of man's best friend. This evidence helps archaeologists decipher not just how we came to be the Homo sapiens we are today, but also what life may have been like for our earliest ancestors. The first Australians encountered freakishly gigantic beasts: kangaroos as big as houses and tortoises the size of cars. The Sahara Desert was once a fertile land, supporting herds of cattle, sheep, and goats. The Early Human World takes readers to sites around the world as archaeologists piece together the clues to our past.For grades 6-8.
