Pleistocene-Era Hominins and Archaeology Archaeological and Geological Studies Language and cultural evolution

Abstract

Mithen begins his book by first posing and then answering the question, OWhy ask an archaeologist about the human mind?O As he describes, there are many fields of study that can contribute to the discussion of the human mind. These include psychologists, philosophers, neurologists, primatologists, biological anthropologists, social anthropologists, and computer scientists. Mithen argues that people from all of these domains can, and indeed should, contribute to the discussion. So how does the archeologist fit into the discussion? What can they contribute?
