World Prehistory

World Prehistory (1967) by Grahame Clark – Cambridge University Press
Offered by Crappy Old Books – proudly unread since the Neolithic.

Before the internet, before radiocarbon dating became routine, and definitely before Indiana Jones made it all look cool, Grahame Clark’s World Prehistory was the go-to guide for serious students of the ancient world. First published in 1961 and reprinted in 1967, this is a sweeping survey of humanity’s earliest steps—from the first chipped stone to the dawn of urban civilization—delivered with academic gravity and a stiff-upper-lip Britishness.

Our copy? A little rough around the edges—much like early Homo sapiens. The pages may be yellowed, the cover gently separating, but the timeline inside is still intact (unlike some of the pottery shards it describes).

Crappy Old Books – Because knowledge ages better than the binding.

Good all round condition.
