Rediscover their prehistoric world and find out what it was like to live through the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages, and how the first settled communities grew up. Did you know that the earliest pottery was invented in Japan around 12,500 years ago, or that Neanderthal people buried their dead with ritualistic ceremonies? Learn about this and much more in this fascinating reference book for 8- to 12-year-olds.
