Résumé
Fifty thousand years ago, our ancestors ventured off the African savannah and into the wider world. Now, our technology reaches far into the cosmos. How did we get where we are today? From Hammurabi to Henry Ford, from Incan couriers… to the Internet, from the Taj Mahal to the Eiffel Tower, from Marco Polo to Martin Luther King, from Cleopatra to Catherine the Great, from boiled haggis to fried tarantulas - this is the story of humanity. Winner of the 2011 Governor General's Award for Children's Text. Grades 4-7. 2011.
