Krátky popis
In 15,000 B.C. early humankind, who had evolved in Africa tens of
thousands of years before, and spread out to populate the Earth,
arrived in Siberia, during the Ice Age. Because so much water was
locked up at that time in the great ice sheets, several miles
thick, the levels of the world's oceans were much lower than they
are today, and early humans were able to walk across the Bering
Strait, then a land bridge, without getting their feet wet, and
enter the Americas. Then, the Ice Age came to an end, the Bering
Strait re-filled with water, and humans in the Americas were cut
off from humans elsewhere in the world. This division - with two
great populations on Earth, each oblivious of the other - continued
until Christopher Columbus 'discovered' America just before 1500
A.D. This is the fascinating subject of THE GREAT DIVIDE, which
compares and contrasts the development of humankind in the 'Old
World' and the 'New' between 15,000 B.C. and 1500 A.D. This
unprecedented comparison of early peoples means that, when these
factors are taken together, they offer a uniquely revealing insight
into what it means to be human. THE GREAT DIVIDE offers a masterly
and totally original synthesis of archaeology, anthropology,
geology, meteorology, cosmology and mythology, to give a new shape
- and a new understanding - to human history.
