The Sumerian Problem: A Review Article
THE SUMERIAN PROBLEM. By ROBERT McC. ADAMS. (Oriental Institute Essays.) Pp. x + 145. Chicago and London: UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS. 1966.
This book is a review article on the problem of the origin of the Sumerians. It is based on a series of lectures given at the University of Chicago in 1964.
The author discusses the various theories that have been proposed to explain the origin of the Sumerians, including the theory that they were indigenous to Mesopotamia, the theory that they migrated from elsewhere, and the theory that they were a mixture of different peoples.
He also examines the evidence for each of these theories, including archaeological evidence, linguistic evidence, and historical evidence.
The author concludes that the most likely explanation for the origin of the Sumerians is that they were a mixture of different peoples who migrated to Mesopotamia from various parts of the world.
This book is a valuable contribution to the study of the Sumerians and their origins. It is well-written and easy to read, and it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on this topic.
