Böcker av Bo Graslund

Cross-disciplinary study arguing that the material, geographical, historical, social, and ideological framework of Beowulf cannot be the independent literary product of an Old English Christian poet, but was in all essentials created orally in Scandinavia.

The development of European archaeology as a scholarly discipline in the nineteenth century was closely connected with the appearance of systematic methods for dating archaeological materials. Professor Graslund's book is the first in-depth study of what is now recognised as a crucial stage in the history of archaeology.

Summarizing modern research on early hominid evolution from the apes six million years ago to the emergence of modern humans, this book presents a synthetic discussion of many aspects of early human life.
