This madcap adventure across ancient history uses everything from modern genetics to archaeology to uncover the geniuses behind these and other world-changing innovations. Who invented the wheel? Who told the first joke? Who drank the first beer? Who was the murderer in the first murder mystery, who was the first surgeon, who sparked the first fire--and most critically, who was the first to brave the slimy, pale oyster? In this book, writer Cody Cassidy digs deep into the latest research to uncover the untold stories of some of these incredible innovators (or participants in lucky accidents). With a sharp sense of humor and boundless enthusiasm for the wonders of our ancient ancestors, Who Ate the First Oyster? profiles the perpetrators of the greatest firsts and catastrophes of prehistory, using the lives of individuals to provide a glimpse into ancient cultures, show how and why these critical developments occurred, and educate us on a period of time that until recently we've known almost nothing about"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 904.7 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.7 Cassidy Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.7 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.7 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.7 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.7 Ca Checked out 07/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList
