Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology Archaeology and Rock Art Studies Language and cultural evolution

Abstract

How did humans become the unique symbolic culture-bearing species that we are? One of the most exciting challenges for paleoanthropology is to understand this extraordinary event. Few convincing arguments have been put forward to explain the evolution of symbolic cognition on a Darwinian basis; no theory has ventured predictions which are testable against symbolic data from both the archaeological and the ethnographic records.
