The biological and neurological capacity to symbolize, and the
products of behavioral, cognitive, sociocultural, linguistic, and
technological uses of symbols (symbolism), are fundamental to every
aspect of human life. The Oxford Handbook of Human Symbolic
Evolution explores the origins of our characteristically human
abilities - our ability to speak, create images, play music, and
read and write. The book investigates how symbolization evolved in
human evolution and how symbolism is expressed across the various
areas of human life. The field is intrinsically interdisciplinary -
considering findings from fossil studies, scientific research from
primatology, developmental psychology, and of course linguistics.
Written by world leading experts, thirty-nine topical chapters are
grouped into six thematic parts that respectively focus on
epistemological, psychological, anthropological, ethological,
linguistic, and social-technological aspects of human symbolic
evolution. The handbook presents an in-depth but comprehensive and
interdisciplinary overview of the of the state of the art in the
science of human symbolic evolution. This work will be of interest
to academics and students active in all fields contributing to the
study of human evolution.
