Because eons ago, when I was in school, prehistory wasn't taught. Therefore, I thought I'd learn what 6th graders learned about ancient human history. Frankly, it wasn't much. These are the headings.
* Human life began near the Olduvai Gorge (what country?) about 1.9 million years ago.
* Early man was Homo Habilis, Cro-Magnon &Neanderthal.
* Early man walked on two legs.
* They were hunter-gatherers.
* Fire helped early man.
* Early man created cave drawings to worship spirits.
* Sharp rocks were the early tools of man.
However, the illustrations were superb. Unfortunately, the book just ended -- there was no closure. I cannot believe 6th graders are expected to learn so little.
