Description
Cognitive Archaeology and Human Evolution explores new approaches to understanding the development of human cognition. By combining insights from archaeology and neuropsychology, this volume examines the evolution of modern thinking and its relationship to anatomical and cerebral structures.
The twelve essays in this collection consider two main questions: whether cognitive processes simply built upon existing structures, or if hominoids played an active role in their own development. The authors also investigate the impact of hominoid activity on the emergence of new cognitive abilities.
