The Meeting-Place of Geology and History

In this concise yet richly illustrated work, the author tackles one of science’s most puzzling intersections: the moment when the geological record hands over to human history. Drawing on the latest research of his day, he seeks a precise estimate for when humanity first appeared on Earth, while also examining how that timeline squares with the narratives found in Scripture. The approach is methodical, presenting data from fossils, stone tools, and stratigraphy in a way that is accessible to both scholars and curious readers.

The book walks the reader through the ancient world before man, then surveys the earliest trace fossils and stone implements that hint at our ancestors’ presence. Subsequent chapters introduce the so‑called Palanthropic Age, describe its subdivisions, and consider the famed Deluge within a geological framework. Rich plates depict caves, flint tools, and early skulls, giving a visual sense of the evidence that underpins each argument. By the close of the first part, the reader gains a clear picture of how geology and recorded history begin to converge.
