SOCIAL EVOLUTION

Childe, V Gordon

SOCIAL EVOLUTION - 1 - Delhi Aakar 2017/01/01 - 184

Social Evolution was Gordon Childes last major work. It deals with the social evolution of the human race, and, rather than saying that ancient civilisations were logic in their evolution of Sociology. V. Gordon Childe was a remarkable man who is considered the father of modern archaeology who specialised in the study of European prehistory. A vocal socialist, Childe accepted the socio-economic theory of Marxism and was an early, though unorthodox, proponent of Marxist archaeology. Childe was the author of several well-known books on the subject of archaeology and prehistory, most notably Man Makes Himself and What Happened in History.
