What Happened in History is Gordon Childe’s influential survey of early human development, from Palaeolithic and Mesolithic societies through the Neolithic, the rise of metalworking, early cities and the emergence of ancient civilisation. Written by one of the major figures in twentieth-century archaeology, the book presents prehistory as a connected story of social, material and technological change.
