Abstract: The long march In Origins and Revolutions: Human Identity in Earliest Prehistory, Clive Gamble questions two widely accepted theories. First, the idea that a 'human revolution' took place around 50,000 years ago, with a genetic change associated with the appearance of art, music and language. And second, the notion of an economic and social revolution in the Neolithic period. Instead, Gamble envisages a long haul, with human invention growing at a steady pace.
