Yes, I’ve completed the MOOC “Prehistory, a New Perspective”, and I must say, it was an intellectually enriching experience that redefines how we think about human origins, culture, and early innovation.
What stood out most was the course’s ability to weave archaeological evidence, anthropological theory, and evolutionary biology into a cohesive and compelling narrative. It moved beyond dates and fossils to explore the why behind human behavior, creativity, and survival instincts. As someone deeply engaged in eBook publishing and the communication of knowledge, I found it fascinating how storytelling and symbolic thought, tools we now use in digital content and literature, can be traced back to prehistoric expression.
This course reminds us that publishing, in its earliest form, started not with ink, but with cave art, oral traditions, and ritualized knowledge-sharing. Today, through eBooks, we carry that legacy forward, disseminating information to a global audience with the click of a button. It reinforces for me that modern publishing, especially digital, is not just a technical craft but a continuation of a very ancient human need: to document, to teach, and to preserve.
