"The theme of this book is the first writing systems - early cuneiform, proto-Elamite, Egyptian (all prior to 3000 BC, by some centuries), Chinese (prior to 1000 BC), and Maya and its Mesoamerican precursors (beginning ca. 500 BC) ... [and it] also looks more briefly at what might be called 'secondary inventions', including late ones like Scandinavian runic" -- p. [3].
