Explaining Human Origins - Myth, Imagination and Conjecture (Hardcover): Wiktor Stoczkowski Explaining Human Origins - Myth, Imagination and Conjecture (Hardcover)
Wiktor Stoczkowski; Translated by Mary Turton

The author argues that theories of human origins developed by archaeologists and physical anthropologists from the early nineteenth century to the present day are structurally similar to Western folk theories, and to the speculations of earlier philosophers. Reviewing a remarkable range of thinkers writing in a variety of European languages, he criticizes the lack of development in theories of human origins, but concludes optimistically that the power of the scientific approach will deliver more reliable theories--only if it is conscious of the baggage it carries over from popular discourse.

The Archaeology of the Iberians (Hardcover, New): Arturo Ruiz, Manuel Molinos The Archaeology of the Iberians (Hardcover, New)

The Iberians inhabited southern and eastern Spain between the Greek and Phoenician colonization beginning in the eight century BC and the Roman conquest. This was a period of urban growth, and the adoption of ideological symbols and technological innovations from the colonists created an important and unique Iron Age culture. The Archaeology of the Iberians is an up-to-date, theoretically informed synthesis of what is now known about the world of the Iberians and a fascinating case study of change within a specific complex society.

Explaining Human Origins - Myth, Imagination and Conjecture (Online resource): Wiktor Stoczkowski Explaining Human Origins - Myth, Imagination and Conjecture (Online resource)
Wiktor Stoczkowski; Translated by Mary Turton
R1,456 Discovery Miles 14 560 Out of stock

Wiktor Stoczkowski, a palaeo-anthropologist, argues that the theories of human origins developed by archaeologists and physical anthropologists from the early nineteenth century to the present day are structurally similar to Western folk theories, and to the speculations of earlier philosophers. Reviewing a remarkable range of thinkers writing in a variety of European languages, he makes a convincing argument for this case. Even though the book criticises the lack of development in theories of human origins, its conclusion is optimistic about the power of the scientific approach to deliver more reliable theories - but only if the influences of popular discourse on its thinking are properly identified.
