    Written in a non-technical style by two archaeologists and experienced writers about the past, the story begins with human origins in Africa some six million years ago and the spread of our remote ancestors across the Old World. Then we return to Africa and describe the emergence of Homo sapiens (modern humans) over 300,000 years ago, then, much later, their permanent settlement of Europe, Eurasia, Asia, and the Americas. From hunters and foragers, we turn to the origins of farming and animal domestication in different parts of the world after about 11,000 years ago and show how these new economies changed human existence dramatically. The narratives chronicle the rise and fall of civilizations, and the devastating effects of long droughts on many of them. The closing chapter poses a question: Why is world prehistory important in the modern world? What does it tell us about ourselves? 
     
     
     
    Providing a simple, but entertaining and stimulating, account of the prehistoric past from human origins to today from a global perspective, World Prehistory: The Basics is the ideal guide to the story of our early human past and its relevance to the modern world.

He also recounts how a heartfelt plea from a mother of a sick child inspired a sales team to adhere to compliance regulations, showing the human impact of their work. Additionally, Vincze discusses the lessons learned from high-profile compliance failures, such as the Theranos scandal, underscoring the necessity of early ethical leadership and robust compliance programs.This book is a must-read for CEOs, senior executives, compliance officers, and legal counsels, as well as law and business students, investors, and board members.

Inspiring Integrity is not just about compliance; it’s about how to develop a culture based on ethics and integrity, which every organization needs.
