The remains that archaeologists uncover reveal ancient minds at
work as much as ancient hands, and for decades many have sought a
better way of understanding those minds. This understanding is at
the forefront of cognitive archaeology, a discipline that believes
that a greater application of psychological theory to archaeology
will further our understanding of the evolution of the human mind.
Bringing together a diverse range of experts including
archaeologists, psychologists, anthropologists, biologists,
psychiatrists, neuroscientists, historians, and philosophers, in
one comprehensive volume, this accessible and illuminating book is
an important resource for students and researchers exploring how
the application of cognitive archaeology can significantly and
meaningfully deepen their knowledge of early and ancient humans.
This seminal volume opens the field of cognitive archaeology to
scholars across the behavioral sciences.
History of Psychology: The Making of a Science provides students
with a comprehensive overview of the formulation of the field of
psychological science. Starting with a chapter on 21st Century
Psychology and then jumping to the dawn of civilization, author
Edward P. Kardas is able to make connections between early
understandings of human behavior with our current understandings
and interpretations of psychological research. Through highlighting
the zeitgeist of the era and making connections to the related
fields of philosophy, computational science, biology, and social
science, students will have a deeper understanding of how and why
the field has formed in its current landscape and a sense for where
it's headed next.
