Praise For Mahbub Khan’s

Making of the World: Our Ancestors’ Journey from Wilderness to Civilization

 

​

“I have greatly enjoyed reading your manuscript and believe that it is a strong summary of world history and social evolution, surely deserving to be published. I am impressed, especially by the comprehensiveness and clarity of the scope and accessibility of your writing. You have admirably read, understood, and communicated the breadth of the issues and literature. Well done.”    

Timothy Earle, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University, IL, USA

 

“It is a well-crafted and comprehensible manuscript with significant and intriguing chronicles of societies, civilizations, regions, and cultures, with sound echoes of literary quest and insights. I found the book to be engrossing. It elucidates the relationship between myth and truth, the past and the present, weaving threads of humanities and science.

Your work reflects a thought process of an anthropologist, resonates with the rigorous research of a historian, and at the same time, its narratives mirror the captivity of a storyteller, bringing history and progression alive, reorienting our maps and minds. I wish you success in publishing the manuscript, which will be well received by the intellectual community and general audiences alike.”

Iftekhar Hasan, University Professor, Fordham University, New York City.

"It was a delight reading your manuscript, and I believe it is a comprehensive description of the various elements that directed the evolution of our civilization. It is worth reading because it is well-written and is a compelling narrative of our evolution from nomadic tribes to a global society."
