The discussion unfolds around written history, particularly illuminating the narrative from the perspective of prehistoric civilizations and the available information about them. It progresses to explore the origins of humans and, even earlier, the emergence of vertebrate animals, reptiles, and more—delving into the realm of biology. As the narrative travels further back in time, delving into the origin and evolution of terrestrial creatures, the author introduces the concepts of Earth’s origin and transformation, inevitably navigating into the domain of geology. This groundbreaking book by Isaac Asimov has been translated into Bengali by renowned scientists Polash Baran Pal and Shekhar Guha, making it accessible to Bengali readers.
