Summary "L'Humanité préhistorique" by J. de Morgan is a comprehensive scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work presents a detailed synthesis of prehistoric times, exploring the development of human industries, the life of prehistoric humans, and their intellectual progress. It emphasizes the critical role of tools and language in human evolution. At the start of this volume, the author lays the groundwork for understanding the origins of humanity by discussing the significance of the hand and tool-making in human development. He posits that the ability to stand upright not only freed the hands for manipulation but also stimulated cognitive growth, leading to complex thought and societal structures. The beginning also highlights the scientific and historical uncertainties surrounding prehistoric studies, urging caution in drawing conclusions from limited archaeological data while emphasizing the interconnectedness of various scientific disciplines in understanding early human life.
