Human beings have a violent past Physical hostilities between people are at least as old as humanity & the roots of such behaviour go very deep Earlier studies have been based on a range of sources including written documents as well as archaeological evidence in the form of weapons armour & defences However each of these is fraught with problems & there is in fact only one form of evidence that can both directly testify to past violence & which has also been present throughout the whole human story -the remains of past people themselves This book brings together a wealth of recently recognised evidence from preserved human skeletons to investigate a range of questions regarding the ways human beings have used violence to achieve their aims in a single volume presenting this continuous thread of unbroken evidence from the early Stone Age to the 19th century Who engaged in violence? Who were the victims? How have styles & objectives of conflict changed over time? How old is war & why did it appear when it did? All these & further questions are addressed in this cutting-edge book the first of its kind to be aimed at the general reader & written for an audience that may not be familiar with what we can learn from the human skeleton about our shared past & the changing face of human conflict ...
