Rethinking the Human Revolution : New Behavioural and Biological Perspectives on the Origin and Dispersal of Modern Humans Hardback
by K. Boyle, Paul A. Mellars, Katherine V. Boyle, Ofer Bar-Yosef, Chris Stringer
Hardback
Description
Arising from a conference Rethinking the Human Revolution reconsiders all of the central issues in modern human behavioural, cognitive, biological and demographic origins in the light of new information and new theoretical perspectives which have emerged over the past twenty years of intensive research in this field.
The 34 papers cover topics ranging from the DNA and skeletal evidence for modern human origins in Africa, through the archaeological evidence for the emergence of distinctively 'modern' patterns of human behaviour and cognition, to the various lines of evidence for the geographical dispersal patterns of biologically and behaviourally modern populations from their African origins throughout Asia, Australasia and Europe, over the past 60,000 years.
