Hands seems to greet us from beyond. Despite the similar themes, this art hails from throughout space and time. Gua Tewet (Tree of Life) in Borneo, Indonesia dates from 12,000 to 10,000 years ago, while Cueva de las Manos (Cave of Hands) in Santa Cruz, Argentina dates from 13,000 to 9,000 years ago.

Likewise, many "hands" collaborated to create this issue on world history, with various authors considering various disciplines such as global history, big history, and deep history. Making the case to expand the timeframe of study in world history standards, Kyle A. Greenwalt offers "The Mind in the Cave: The Paleolithic Era in the American World History Curriculum," which begins on page 497.

We hope you and your students enjoy the possibilities presented in this edition of The History Teacher, a special-focus issue on World History.
