Hardback. Condition: Good. The Story of Prehistoric Civilizations (1951) by Dorothy Davison (Watts) Sold by Crappy Old Books Dust off your mammoth-skin slippers and journey back to a time when humans hadn?t yet invented the wheel, the weekend, or a decent deodorant. In The Story of Prehistoric Civilizations , Dorothy Davison (Watts) takes readers on a lively 1950s romp through the murky mists of prehistory?armed with the best assumptions mid-century anthropology had to offer. This charmingly dated yet earnest exploration covers the rise of early humans, the baffling brilliance of stone tools, and the mysteries of long-lost cultures who, somehow, managed without smartphones.

Perfect for lovers of old-school non-fiction, retro illustrations, and slightly crumbling paper. From the shelves of Crappy Old Books, where ?vintage? is just a polite way to say ?a bit musty.? Hardbback with dust jacket. Nice binding, barely read.…
