In addition to a global coverage of prehistoric life, the book pays specific attention to the origins and dispersal of anatomically--modern humans, the development of symbolic expression, the transition from mobile foraging bands to sedentary households, early agriculture and its consequences, the emergence of social differentiation and hereditary ranking, and the prehistoric roots of ancient states and empires.
