Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. For a long time it was assumed that Africa had no past, or certainly none worth investigating. But during the last fifty years archaeologists and historians have shown not only that Africa has a past well worth attention, but that it was probably the original home of mankind. The cumulative results of research throughout the continent by scholars of different disciplines and different countries have been impressive. For many years research in Africa has been conducted by isolated workers, sometimes under great difficulties and little attempt has been made to communicate the results of the work to the African public. What are the achievements in the field of archaeology and history in Africa? What are the scholars finding out? These are the questions to which this book provides some of the answers in fourteen essays. The contributors are W. W. Bishop, L. S. B. Leakey, Glyn Isaac, Aidan Southall, J. E. G. Sutton, James Kirkman, Neville Chittick, B. Alan Ogot, Ruth C. Berger.…
