  1. Ayushman Singh –

    A great book! Gave me a really good foundation for understanding neolithic history. This is a really cool book.

  2. Ireen Ahmad Mir –

    Good, but slow. His main point is very interesting, but some sections are difficult to follow due to its age.

  3. Aaheli Koner –

    A classic that stands the test of time. Though some findings have been updated, Childe’s overall thesis remains relevant.

  4. Sumedh Yeshwant Bhandare –

    Very dense and academic. Requires focus and is hard to read if you are sleepy. It is better to read in the morning.

  5. Manav Gautam –

    Interesting ideas, but the writing style is somewhat clunky. Still worth a read if you are into the subject.

  6. Sakshi Yogendra Kasat –

    An impressive synthesis. Some of the archaeological details are outdated but the conceptual framework is still influential.

  7. Hriyam Dutta –

    Hard to get through, but the core ideas are powerful. Childe really gets you thinking about how technology shaped society.

  8. Abhigyan Raj –

    Classic book! You should read it! The book helped me to understand the development of the first cities. A must read!

  9. Ravi Prakash Singh –

    It’s a classic, so you should read it. I am unsure if I really got it. Interesting but hard to digest.

  10. Pramda Pandey –

    Absolutely fascinating! This book made me understand how we became like this. Worth a read to know our roots.

  11. Rahul Choudhary –

    Informative but dry. It is worth a read if you are into the topic. Maybe better to listen to on audiobook.

  12. Nishant Sharma –

    Childe’s insights are amazing! A bit dated, but the big picture thinking makes it worthwhile. Changed my perspective on early civilization.

  13. Roshan Kumar –

    Changed how I view history! The author is really brilliant. A lot of interesting points! Some of the info is old.

  14. Sudeep Khurana –

    Essential for understanding early civilizations. A bit dense in places, but the insights are well worth the effort.

  15. Souvik Kumar Mondal –

    Important book, though feels a bit like a textbook. The writing style is not the most exciting, but the information is valuable.

  16. Vinayak Sharma –

    Not the most thrilling read, but definitely informative. I would recommend to others to get a hold of the knowledge.

  17. Saikat Das –

    Foundational work, but heavy on jargon. It gave me a good overview, but it was dry. Good source to know more.

  18. Ashutosh Pandey –

    This book offers deep insights! Gave me a lot of knowledge. I liked how it covered various regions.

  19. Anjali Yadav –

    Worth it if you are interested in understanding the origins of society and technology. Though it shows its age, it has good ideas.

  20. Shrey Ramanbhai Patel –

    A bit dense, but a classic for a reason. Childe’s theories are groundbreaking, though some feel outdated now. Still, worth the read for any history buff.

  21. Tanishq Kohli –

    Childe’s work is still relevant. Worth the read, though a bit heavy. Worth it to know of it’s importance.

  22. Anonymous –

    A challenging read. A bit old but still a great book. Provides a unique perspective on early human development and societal shift.
