Origins: a global history of local ancestors

This book tells stories of how our ancestors lived before violence became normalized in our modern world. It includes stories from nearly every continent to provide a holistic picture of our earliest ancestors and their experiences. In asking questions, telling stories, and digging through inclusive evidence, this book is a call to collaborate - much like our ancestors before us - in uncovering local histories of our global past.
