Human social life is constrained and defined by our cognitive and
emotional dispositions, which are the legacy of our foraging
ancestors. But how difficult is it to reconstruct the social
systems and cultural traditions of those ancestors? The Archaeology
of Human Ancestry provides a stimulating and provocative answer, in
which archaeologists and biological anthropologists set out and
demonstrate their reconstructive methods. Contributors use
observations of primates and modern hunter-gatherers to illuminate
the fossil and artefactual records. Thematic treatment covers the
evolution of group size; group composition and the emotional
structure of social bonds; sexual dimorphism and the sexual
division of labour; and the origins of human cultural traditions.
The Archaeology of Human Ancestry is an essential introduction to
the subject for advanced undergraduates and researchers in
archaeology and biological anthropology. It will also be used by
workers in psychology, sociology and feminist studies as a resource
for understanding human social origins.
