William is my history boy.

He especially enjoys learning about ancient civilisations.

This book, The Humans, from Lttle Tiger Books is amazing!!

The large picture book format showcases the greatest achievements of ancient civilisations, peoples and iconic figures from history.

We start at the beginning with where it all began. How humans evolved over time.

We learn about the homo genus and how homo sapiens became the most dominant human species and spread around the globe.

The Humans tells the tale of our species by visiting different continents and sharing the history of humans.

The Nubians and Egyptians in Africa, the Aboriginal Australians, the Sumerians and Babylonians in Asia, the Ancient Greeks, Romans and Vikings in Europe.

This is a brilliant book for supporting and extending the KS2 history curriculum.

We learn not only about the people and where they lived but also their about their homes, their diet, their sports and hobbies, their myths and legends, their religion. We learn about the tools they made, skills they developed and the knowledge and wisdom they have handed down through generations to us.

We are part of the new human age, the technological revolution. Books like this are so important to show us where we all came from and remind us how much we have to thank our ancestors for. There are important lessons we can learn from the past.

This book is packed with information about early man and ancient empires, tribes and civilisations. This is us and as we look to what comes next we must all remember what has gone before. Our ancestors have taught us so much and given us a rich tapestry of stories, languages, arts, medicines, rituals, music and so much more.

With stunning illustrations this book is awesome and a must read for all young historians. As a family we have learned so much from these brightly coloured pages about ancient civilisations and the astonishing things they taught us.
