Synopsis

Here is the fascinating story of human development, from its beginnings in Africa millions of years ago to modern times.

We cooled our feet and our throats in the river

and ate what we could catch or find

in Africa

And we changed slowly

as the river-washed stones grew smooth as moons.

Here is the fascinating story of human development, from its beginnings in Africa millions of years ago to modern times. In spare, lyrical verse Alice Schertle highlights the emergence of rich diversity among peoples and the spread of culture, technology and extraordinary societies.

With vibrant collage illustrations by Kenneth Addison, this book provides readers with a remarkable glimpse into the ever-evolving history of our human community.
