The World Archaeological Congress meetings in Southampton in
September 1986 included a series of sessions on the problems of
Pleistocene archaeology. The chapters in this book derive from some
of those discussions. In particular, this volume focuses on the
problems facing prehistorians and palaeoanthropologists when trying
to understand the long-term evolution of human behaviour and the
patterns observable in the fossil and archaeological record of a
period of time stretching over several million years. It aims to
illustrate the diversity of approaches and concepts that are
required to investigate the evolution of the characteristics of
human behaviour - technology, language, symbol use, cultural
traditions, social relationships, hunting, gathering and food
production. The approaches presented range from comparisons with
non-human primates to the use of ethnographic data and computer
simulations, as well as demographic, psychological and evolutionary
models.
