In this innovative study Clive Gamble presents and questions two of
the most famous descriptions of change in prehistory. The first is
the 'human revolution', when evidence for art, music, religion and
language first appears. The second is the economic and social
revolution of the Neolithic period. Gamble identifies the
historical agendas behind 'origins research' and presents a bold
new alternative to these established frameworks, relating the study
of change to the material basis of human identity. He examines,
through artefact proxies, how changing identities can be understood
using embodied material metaphors and in two major case-studies
charts the prehistory of innovations, asking, did agriculture
really change the social world? This is an important and
challenging book that will be essential reading for every student
and scholar of prehistory.
