Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book positions the history of the ancients within the context of geographical discoveries, revealing the correlations between the settlement patterns of the first humans with their geographical surroundings. The argument rests particularly on the role of the ocean, which is shown to have been a determinant not just for the survival but also for the cultural development of human beings. The author argues that the bias toward land-based explanations of human history has obscured insights available from maritime activity. The work concludes with an exhortation for future archaeological projects to connect the human past with the ocean's influence.
