The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory

Kenneth L. Feder

The Past in Perspective: An Introduction to Human Prehistory, Ninth Edition, is an engaging and up-to-date chronological overview of human prehistory. Kenneth L. Feder introduces students to "the big picture"--the grand sweep of human evolutionary history--presenting the human past within the context of fundamental themes of cultural evolution. Feder's unique, refreshing, and accessible narrative personalizes the past and makes it relevant to today's students. Using a consistent chapter format, Feder helps students master both what we know and what is still debated about the complex story of the human past.
