"The Dawn of History: An Introduction to Pre-Historic Study" by C. F. Keary is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the early stages of human development and civilization, focusing on the traces and remnants left by prehistoric societies and their contributions to the evolution of culture. With an emphasis on archaeology and anthropology, it aims to provide readers with a foundational understanding of the technological and social advancements that characterized prehistoric life. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of prehistory by drawing a vivid analogy to the fleeting nature of human existence. Keary begins with historical and traditional records, highlighting the limitations of these narratives in bridging the gap to early human life. He emphasizes the importance of archaeology, such as ancient tools and remains, in piecing together a clearer picture of prehistoric people. The narrative touches on the profound transformations in climate and environment that precede human activity, leading to a detailed examination of mankind’s earliest traces, revealing not only their tools but also their way of life and early social structures.
