“The story of our world is a story that is still very imperfectly known.” From the very beginnings of life, spanning across the age of mammals evolving into monkeys, apes, and sub-men; from the Neanderthaler to the early days of human adventure; from the beginnings of cultivations to priests, sages, kings, and wars; and from the conquests to material knowledge, revolutions, and reconstruction of the world . . . here is a story of how life began and evolved into ‘us.’ A comprehensive and compelling account of the world history, H. G. Wells’ A Short History of the World is a thought-provoking masterpiece. Constructed on an evolutionary, anthropological, and sociological basis, it is an immensely popular period piece that remains one of the most readable of its kind.
