The Fifth Beginning
“I have seen yesterday. I know tomorrow.” This inscription in Tutankhamun’s tomb summarizes The Fifth Beginning. Here, archaeologist Robert L.

In each example, the author examines the long-term processes that resulted in a definitive, no-turning-back change for the organization of society.

The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers
Challenges the preconceptions that hunter-gatherers were Paleolithic relics living in a raw state of nature, instead crafting a position that emphasizes their diversity.

From the reviews "[A]n excellent overview of key issues in hunter-gatherer studies." Alan Barnard in American Ethn...
