The Great Ice Age And Its Relation To The Antiquity Of Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163308899)

""The Great Ice Age and Its Relation to the Antiquity of Man"" is a comprehensive study of the geological and climatic changes that occurred during the Pleistocene epoch, commonly known as the Ice Age. Written by James Geikie, a prominent Scottish geologist, the book examines the evidence for the existence of glaciers and ice sheets that covered large parts of the Earth's surface during this time period. Geikie also explores the impact of these glacial movements on the landscape, including the formation of valleys, lakes, and other features.One of the key themes of the book is the relationship between the Ice Age and the evolution of human beings. Geikie argues that the changing climate and landscape of the Pleistocene had a profound impact on the development of early human societies, influencing their migration patterns, diet, and cultural practices. He also discusses the various archaeological sites that have been discovered around the world, providing insights into the daily lives of our distant ancestors.Overall, ""The Great Ice Age and Its Relation to the Antiquity of Man"" is a fascinating exploration of the geological and anthropological history of our planet. It provides a detailed and accessible account of the forces that shaped the Earth during this critical period, and sheds light on the origins of human civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
