Content:
From the dawn of writing in Sumer to the sunset of the Islamic empire, this work traces 4000 years of speculation on the origins of civilization. McCants argues that authors in all three periods did not write about civilization's origins solely out of pure antiquarian interest - they also sought to address the social tensions of the day.
