Companion book for one of the first distance learning classes - Cultural Anthropology.

Much has been discovered since 1974 but this was complete in its time. Bronowski was passionate about his subject and transferred that to his audience. This was a video presented on television by KCSM from San Mateo for college credit classes. This is a condensed version of the entire history of humans presented in timeline form touching upon the highlights of the era. His enthusiasm is similar to that of Michael Wood's in "The Story of India". This book still proudly resides on my bookshelf after all these years.
