The book challenges the idea accepted in academia that history is a linear development in which society is steadily moving out of a violent and patriarchal past to a more equitable and peaceful future, and it reexamines both the archaeological work of Marjia Gimbutas and recent research into the prehistories of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Australia and Oceania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudy Foster\u003c\/b\u003e is an art teacher and the author of books for primary school art teachers. \u003cb\u003eMarlene Derlet\u003c\/b\u003e is a linguist with a background in anthropology and sociology.
