This Is A Concise And Informative About Asia

This excellent audible tells about the beginning part and the roots of Chinese and Japanese culture. It is a concise and informative work. Although Japanese culture and Chinese culture were isolated from European culture for a long time, the Asians were able to develop many of the same things as the Europeans did and sometimes even before the Europeans.

A uneven “history”

This book embodies what the problems are with modern interpretations of Chinese history. To say Homosapians evolved at the same point in history independently is unsubstantiated unscientific bunkum. It is a isolationist version of history that takes into account almost none of the archeological evidence of intercultural trade and influence from the earliest times. Reminiscent of publications form the first half of the 20th century that draw nationalist conclusions without looking at broader context.
