Africa has the longest record - some 2.5 million years - of human
occupation of any continent. For nearly all of this time, its
inhabitants have made tools from stone and have acquired their food
from its rich wild plant and animal resources. Archaeological
research in Africa is crucial for understanding the origins of
humans and the diversity of hunter-gatherer ways of life. This book
is a synthesis of the record left by Africa's earliest hominin
inhabitants and hunter-gatherers, combining the insights of
archaeology with those of other disciplines, such as genetics and
palaeo-environmental science. African evidence is critical to
important debates, such as the origins of stone tool making, the
emergence of recognisably modern forms of cognition and behaviour,
and the expansion of successive hominins from Africa to other parts
of the world.
