"The Fifth Beginning" is an archaeologist who spent half his life's exploration and thinking to find a clear, easy-to-understand, and powerful cognitive tool for us. Using the "Five Beginnings" can refresh our understanding of the past, present, and future. As Professor Luo Xin from the Department of History at Peking University said: "Few archaeologists pay so thorough attention to the future, and even fewer scholars who pay attention to the future are so optimistic. Robert Kelly understands the present and touches the future by examining the entire past of mankind, demonstrating the great value of history." Condensing 6 million years into 280 pages, it is written specifically for ordinary readers and is as exciting as "A Brief History of Humanity". Amazing archaeological details, a sense of historical scene, and a strong sense of urgency are full of today's revelations for future archaeologists. This is a work that can help readers at multiple levels and in many fields: business people, managers, and ordinary white-collar workers: they can learn forward-looking macro insights from this book; government officials, government think tanks, and scholars of archaeology, anthropology, history, biology, and sociology: they can gain insights from this book. It is a broad vision and important reference for looking at history, judging the present, and predicting the future; college students and ordinary readers: not only can they follow the author, a super archaeological joker, on an archaeological adventure, but they can also get important inspiration from the book about archeology, anthropology, historical knowledge, and how to view the world.
