Ever wondered what it was really like to live in Roman London, or experience the wars of the Roses? What was Stone Age like? How would have an ancient Egyptian priest spent his time? The way in which our ancestors lived will continue to be a source of inspiration and mystery. How did they eat, worship and dress? How did they build their homes? Were they more violent than we are today? In a book that skilfully combines the latest developments in science with up-to-date archaeological research, Ian Wilson unravels the truth about the world in which our ancestors lived.
