Floyd Freeman takes us on a journey to the most important cities of humankind, from Babylon to Berlin to New York. The greatest heroes are named & the worst villains. Freeman tells of works of art, inventions, & ideas of humanity, from the hand axe to the selfie stick. In the beginning, as a kind of warm-up, he summarizes more than two million years of human history in ten pages, guided by the question: How did a relatively insignificant ape species - somewhere between sheep & lion in the food chain - manage to conquer the earth?
People without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. -Marcus Garvey
