Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels and Settlements of Early Man: A Study of the Origins of Human Progress The French have a popular use of the word histoire in which it signifies a narrative that is untrue. This is a good illustration of the extent to which a term may side-slip from the middle of its meaning. For history is not properly a narrative and the task of the historian begins with the exclusion of material which is unauthentic. Pressed home to its ultimate derivation the Greek historia stands for the judgment of a man who is wise, because he has seen. Herodotus and Aristotle while preserving this essential meaning elaborated its application, the former by defining the character of the material to be visualized, the latter by expanding the form of the judgment. For Herodotus the data of history consisted of facts within the human reference. Aristotle, when he entitled histories those researches which he pursued in biology and psychology in order to ascertain the nature of living things and of the soul, established the canon that history must proceed beyond the collection and Verification of facts to their interpretation by means of a coherent hypothesis.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Buzzfeed Gift Guide Selection “Few books on the biological and cultural origin of humanity can be ranked as classics. I believe [this] will be one of them.” — Edward O. Wilson At the time of its publication, How Language Began received high acclaim for capturing the fascinating history of mankind’s most incredible creation. Deemed a “bombshell” linguist and “instant folk hero” by Tom Wolfe (Harper’s), Daniel L. Everett posits that the near- 7,000 languages that exist today are not only the product of one million years of evolution but also have allowed us to become Earth’s apex predator. Tracing 60,000 generations, Everett debunks long- held theories across a spectrum of disciplines to affi rm the idea that we are not born with an instinct for language. Woven with anecdotes of his nearly forty years of fi eldwork amongst Amazonian hunter- gatherers, this is a “completely enthralling” (Spectator) exploration of our humanity and a landmark study of what makes us human. “[An] ambitious text. . . . Everett’s amiable tone, and especially his captivating anecdotes . . . , will help the neophyte along.”— New York Times Book Review

Download or read book A Prehistory of the North written by John F. Hoffecker and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early humans did not simply drift northward from their African origins as their abilities to cope with cooler climates evolved. The initial settlement of places like Europe and northern Asia, as well as the later movement into the Arctic and the Americas, actually occurred in relatively rapid bursts of expansion. A Prehistory of the North is the first full-length study to tell the complex story, spanning almost two million years, of how humans inhabited some of the coldest places on earth. In an account rich with illustrations, John Hoffecker traces the history of anatomical adaptations, diet modifications, and technological developments, such as clothing and shelter, which allowed humans the continued ability to push the boundaries of their habitation. The book concludes by showing how in the last few thousand years, peoples living in the circumpolar zone--with the exception of western and central Siberia--developed a thriving maritime economy. Written in nontechnical language, A Prehistory of the North provides compelling new insights and valuable information for professionals and students.
