The director of the British Museum offers a dazzling tour through the human past as he and his curators dive into the world-renowned institution's treasure trove of artifacts. From an Olduvai hand-axe to a chronometer from Darwin's ship The Beagle, MacGregor's inventory of these items is one readers can return to time and again, continually finding fresh insights about where we've been, and where we might be heading.
