When was the human threshold crossed? What is the evidence for
evolving humans and their emerging humanity? This volume explores
in a global overview the archaeology of the Middle Pleistocene,
800,000 to 130,000 years ago when evidence for innovative cultural
behaviour appeared. The evidence shows that the threshold was
crossed slowly, by a variety of human ancestors, and was not
confined to one part of the Old World. Crossing the Human Threshold
examines the changing evidence during this period for the use of
place, landscape and technology. It focuses on the emergence of
persistent places, and associated developments in tool use, hunting
strategies and the control of fire, represented across the Old
World by deeply stratified cave sites. These include the most
important sites for the archaeology of human origins in the Levant,
South Africa, Asia and Europe, presented here as evidence for
innovation in landscape-thinking during the Middle Pleistocene. The
volume also examines persistence at open locales through a
cutting-edge review of the archaeology of Northern France and
England. Crossing the Human Threshold is for the worldwide
community of students and researchers studying early hominins and
human evolution. It presents new archaeological data. It frames the
evidence within current debates to understand the differences and
similarities between ourselves and our ancient ancestors.
