Simmons traces chronological and regional differences within this land of immense environmental contrasts - woodlands, steppe, and desert. He argues that the Neolithic Revolution can be seen in a variety of economic, demographic, and social guises and that it lacked a single common stimulus." --BOOK JACKET.
