Abstract:

The distinguished archaeologist of prehistory, Grahame Clark , describes in this book how man has extended his understanding of time and space far beyond that of his primate forebears through technology, social organisation, and, above all, his capacity for abstract thought. He presents his argument in technical language drawn from archaeology, anthropology, history, and a variety of natural sciences, and points to a deeper and wider comprehension of space and time as a mark of more fully developed human beings.
