Originally published in 1987, Human Evolution looks at theories of
the evolution of human behaviour (contemporary at the time of
publication). The book reviews competing theories of psychological
and social evolution and provides a detailed historical
introduction to the subject. A key theoretical concern which
emerges in the book includes the psychological significance of the
human evolution issue itself. The period of human evolution covered
ranges from the demise of the Miocene hominoids, to the emergence
of 'civilization'. Topics covered include: functions of 'origin
myths', history of the study of human evolution, methods and
data-bases, theories of the nature of 'hominisation', origins of
bipedalism, language and tool-use, theories of social evolution,
theories of cave art and the spread of Homo sapiens to America and
Australia.
