Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For centuries, the origins of civilization have been told from a narrow perspective, one that placed Africa at the margins of history instead of its foundation. African Origin of Civilization challenges that story and invites readers to rediscover where human progress truly began.Through archaeology, language, and historical evidence, Samuel M. Goldstein reveals how the early societies of Africa-especially along the Nile, developed the sciences, architecture, philosophy, and moral systems that shaped the world. The book explores how these innovations influenced later civilizations and how colonial scholarship later obscured their African roots.Written in a clear and accessible style, this is both a historical journey and a reflection on knowledge itself. Readers will come away with a deeper understanding of Africa's role in the making of civilization and why remembering that truth is essential for building a more balanced and honest future. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
