The Making Of Humanity (1919)

by Robert Briffault

The Making of Humanity is a non-fiction book written by Robert Briffault in 1919. It explores the history of human civilization and the factors that have led to its development. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different period of human history. The first part of the book focuses on the early stages of human evolution, from the emergence of Homo sapiens to the development of agriculture. Briffault examines the role of religion, language, and social organization in shaping early human societies. The second part of the book covers the classical period of human history, from ancient Greece to the fall of the Roman Empire. Briffault analyzes the cultural, political, and economic developments of this period, including the rise of democracy and the spread of Christianity. The final part of the book explores the modern era, from the Renaissance to the early 20th century. Briffault examines the scientific, technological, and cultural changes that have shaped modern society, including the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of new forms of art and literature. Throughout the book, Briffault argues that human civilization is the result of a complex interplay between biological, cultural, and environmental factors. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the past in order to better understand the present and shape the future. The Making of Humanity is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of human history and the forces that have shaped our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
