A book based on archaeological assumptions we can make about early humans (fiction or non-fiction)
What are some great books that deal with early civilization and giving a glean into what life was like for the first humans up to the earliest civilizations.
Have a look at Professor Alice Roberts’ books; she’s an expert on bones, anthropology and early human populations and wrote a brilliant, detailed and comprehensive book about Humankind’s early beginnings, The Incredible Human Journey.
She doesn’t go into the civilisations that grew from Homo Sapiens but if you are interested in how human beings began, this is the book for you.
If however what you want is an imaginative idea of some of mankind’s early civilisations, try Gore Vidal’s Creation which looks at the Chinese Empire, India, and Persia amongst others [but remember, it’s fiction based on some facts – not history!]
