"Prehistoric Men" by Robert J. Braidwood is a scientific publication written during the mid-20th century. The work delves into the study of prehistoric humans, exploring their origin, culture, and the environment in which they lived. The author seeks to explain complex archaeological topics in simple terms, making the book accessible to a broader audience interested in human prehistory. The opening portion of the book introduces the concepts of prehistory and the methodologies used by scientists to study it. Braidwood highlights the roles of various specialists, such as physical anthropologists and archaeologists, in piecing together the history of prehistoric men from limited physical evidence. He discusses how artifacts and remains from ancient societies provide essential insights into human activity before the advent of written records, using these findings to establish a framework for understanding the lives, environments, and cultural developments of early humans. Through this exploration, readers gain an overview of the scientific approaches employed in the study of human origins and the continuous advancements in archaeological dating techniques.
