This book moves through the last hundred centuries before recorded history began, and across every continent, to report some of the greatest detective work of modern times-the search for clues to human beginnings, the mysteries of the founding of society. "Whatever the future, man is moving into it faster and faster, swept up in a revolution that started 10,000 years ago when all the world was a wilderness and he was a wild animal living essentially as his ancestors had lived for millions of years - foraging within his home ranges, exploiting other wild species, and moving on when local abundances dwindled." The first popular account of the rise of the Establishment, ow power structures and hierarchies, wealth, poverty, slavery, social class, the elites, sexism, agricultures, cities and states, art and music, propaganda and tradition, kings and gods - and how each of these served the others

Why did people suddenly begin drawing animals, human figures, and abstract signs on the walls of caves during the upper Paleolithic period? And how is the appearance of cave paintings and engravings related to changes in social organization and community life among the Cro-Magnon? These are among the questions John E. Pfeiffer asks in 'The Creative Explosion', a book based on years of research and a close analysis of the work of many distinguished scientists. Profusely illustrated, this book provides a fascinating , provocative, and accessible account and interpretation of the earliest recorded human art.
