  Challenging the approach of military histories which start with the Graeco-Persian wars and emphasize the pre-eminence of Greek heavy infantry, this account traces the origins of war, not to the Iron Age or even the Bronze Age, but to the emergence of settled life itself, nearly 10,000 years ago.
