The Evolution of Paleolithic Technologies provides a novel
perspective on long-term trajectories of evolutionary change in
Paleolithic tools and tool-makers. Members of the human lineage
have been producing stone tools for more than 3 million years.
These artefacts provide key evidence for important evolutionary
developments in hominin behaviour and cognition. Avoiding
conventional approaches based on progressive stages of development,
this book instead examines global trends in six separate dimensions
of technological behaviour between 2.6 million and 10,000 years
ago. Combining these independent trends results in both a broader
and a more finely punctuated perspective on key intervals of change
in hominin behaviour. To draw this picture together, the concluding
section explores behavioural, cognitive, and demographic
implications of developments in material culture and technological
procedures at seven key intervals during the Pleistocene.
Researchers interested in Paleolithic archaeology will find this
book invaluable. It will also be of interest to archaeologists
researching stone tool technology and to students of human
evolution and behavioural change in prehistory.
