** What readers are saying ** This book is awesome! As someone who loves history, I think every person should read this while growing up. It really gives a broad but concise view [of] the major moments in history. While everything isn't mentioned, nor should it, since I think this book gravitates towards children. This book honestly gives a more basic and honest look at the world and its cultures, events and people than most college text books that I have read. - Edelweiss review 'This book does a good job of covering several topics in a short amount of time. I particularly enjoyed when the book discussed evolution and how slowly the process went. Another great part was the explanation of how the physical features of people have changed over thousands of years, based on the journeys that they made from their original families and locations. Students will be able to learn a great deal from this book, as it clearly defined terms that they may be unfamiliar with.' - NetGalley review
