The author is Patrick Wyman, and the subtitle is How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World. An excellent book, it is a survey of (mostly) pre-Sumerian times, what we know about them, and how we have learned a lot lately. It is easy to read, yet the author properly stresses the complexity of the topic, for instance we often find agricultural and non-agricultural societies intermingling with each other and in close contact, in those cases the lines cannot be so easily drawn.
