Cognitive archaeology and human evolution

by Sophie de Beaune, Frederick Coolidge, Thomas Wynn

This collection of twelve essays explores the evolution of human cognition by bridging archaeology and neuropsychology. Contributors analyse whether cognitive development utilised existing brain structures or if hominoids actively shaped their own cognitive abilities.

brief_description
The book draws from the fields of archaeology and neuropsychology, which traditionally have shared little in the way of theories and methods, even though both disciplines provide crucial pieces to the puzzle of the emergence and evolution of human cognition. The twelve essays, written by an international team of scholars, represent an eclectic array of interests, methods, and theories about evolutionary cognitive archaeology. Collectively they consider whether the processes in the development of human cognition simply made a better use of anatomical and cerebral structures already in place at the beginning of hominization. They also consider the possibility of an active role of hominoids in their own development and query the impact of hominoid activity in the emergence of new cognitive abilities.
