The Origins of Civilisation

The world is constantly changing, and so has the perception of civilisation, but what exactly are the origins of this concept? Helping us answer this question from an anthropological and archaeological perspective, Professor Nam Kim joins Tristan once again on The Ancients. We explore how advances in these disciplines are helping to answer this long-examined question.


Nam is an anthropological archaeologist and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
