A history of the world in 100 objects: key transferrable messages
1) Ever since the first man-made tools were created
around 2 million years ago, humans have
produced objects
2) It is possible to study the whole of human history
through these man-made objects
3) Understanding past cultures of the world is
essential in order to understand common
humanity and understand about the way we have
interacted with each other and the world
