Kathmandu. Geologist and archaeologist Bikram Shrestha’s new work Prehistory: Primitive Civilization has been released. Former Registrar of Tribhuvan University Prof. Dr. Peshal Dahal released the book. Author Shrestha said that this book focuses on the lifestyle of the people before the development of civilization in the world and the culture they developed.
This is Shrestha’s second book published by the Centre for Culture and Archaeological Studies. Earlier in 2079 BS, the Study Center had published a book titled The Origin of the Himalayas by Shrestha.
Shrestha, who is currently pursuing his PhD at the University of Florida in the US, has completed his master’s degree from the Central Department of Geology of Tribhuvan University and the Central Department of Nepali History, Culture and Archaeology. In this book, he has presented material in simple Nepali language about the origin and evolution of organisms on earth as well as the technologies developed by humans at different times.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof Dahal said that the book has been prepared by updating many information in the book on prehistory written by him a few decades ago. Shrestha, who has studied both archeology and geology, said that pre-historic studies in Nepal at present are very small and could contribute well to it. Dahal said the book would be even more useful for the students and scholars of archaeology and geology.
