About this book

Makers of Civilization: In Race and History

Author: Robert Brown

Year: 1889

Makers of Civilization is an ambitious attempt to trace the origins of human civilization through comparative ethnology, archaeology, and ancient texts. Brown examines the contributions of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and the Levant to the formation of law, religion, science, and art. He emphasizes the interconnectedness of early societies and the diffusion of ideas across continents. This work reflects late Victorian scholarship at its most speculative and wide-ranging, blending historical inquiry with anthropological theory and sacred tradition.
