About The Book:
-
Man Makes Himself is a classic and comprehensive introduction to the history of early humans. It explores the journey of humankind beginning over 3.4 million years ago when humans first developed the ability to make fire and craft stone tools, which enabled them to survive alongside wild beasts.
-
The book emphasizes the transformative progress humans made, from becoming food producers to the emergence of cities and states, the rise of foreign trade, and the urban revolution that shaped societies.
-
Gordon Childe, a remarkable archaeologist often regarded as the father of modern archaeology, specialized in the study of European prehistory. He was also a vocal socialist who embraced Marxist socio-economic theory and was an early, albeit unorthodox, proponent of Marxist archaeology.
-
Childe's insights into early human development and his broader archaeological contributions have influenced generations of scholars. He is known for his work on The Dawn of European Civilization and What Happened in History, and this book is an essential read for anyone interested in archaeology and the origins of human civilization.
