This book presents new directions in the study of cognitive
archaeology. Seeking to understand the conditions that led to the
development of a variety of cognitive processes during evolution,
it uses evidence from empirical studies and offers theoretical
speculations about the evolution of modern thinking as well. The
volume draws from the fields of archaeology and neuropsychology,
which traditionally have shared little in the way of theories and
methods, even though both disciplines provide crucial pieces to the
puzzle of the emergence and evolution of human cognition. The
twelve essays, written by an international team of scholars,
represent an eclectic array of interests, methods, and theories
about evolutionary cognitive archaeology. Collectively, they
consider whether the processes in the development of human
cognition simply made a better use of anatomical and cerebral
structures already in place at the beginning of hominization. They
also consider the possibility of an active role of hominoids in
their own development and query the impact of hominoid activity in
the emergence of new cognitive abilities.
