Prehistoric Myths In Modern Political Philosophy
Karl Widerquist and Grant S. McCall present a philosophical look at the origin of civilisation, examining political theories to show how claims about prehistory are used. Drawing on the best available evidence from archaeology and anthropology, they show that much of what we think we know about human origins comes from philosophers’ imagination, not scientific investigation.
