The concept of the social brain has become a popular topic in the
last decade and has generated interest within the research
community and contributed to a wide public examination of human
culture, nature, mind, and instinct, as well as aspects of social
and business organisation. At its core, the hypothesis that our
social life drove the dramatic enlargement of our brain, bridges
the dimensions of our evolutionary history and our contemporary
experience. This has been the focus of a seven-year research
project funded by the British Academy, the British Academy
Centenary Research Project (otherwise known as the Lucy Project).
The main aim of the Lucy Project has been to explore these two axes
in an integrated set of studies whose focus was to link archaeology
and, in its broadest sense, evolutionary psychology, which offers
powerful, new explanatory insights. This approach redresses the
past contribution from archaeology towards the study of
evolutionary issues and ties evolutionary psychology into the
extensive historical data from the past, allowing us to escape the
confined timeframe of the comparatively recent human mind. In this
volume of published and new papers, the contributors explore the
question of just what it is that makes us so different, and why and
when these uniquely human capacities evolved.
