Transitions Before the Transition: Evolution and Stability in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology
Editat de Erella Hovers, Steven Kuhnen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 noi 2005
This book assembles researchers working in Eurasia and Africa to discuss the archaeological record of the Middle Paleolithic and the Middle Stone Age. This is a time period when Homo sapiens last shared the world with other species, and during which patterns of behavior characteristic of modern humans developed and coalesced. Contributions to this volume query and challenge some current notions about the tempo and mode of cultural evolution, and about the processes that underlie the emergence of modern behavior. The papers focus on several fundamental questions. Do typical elements of "modern human behavior" appear suddenly, or are there earlier archaeological precursors of them? Are the archaeological records of the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age unchanging and monotonous, or are there detectable evolutionary trends within these periods? Coming to diverse conclusions, the papers in this volume open up new avenues to thinking about this crucial interval in human evolutionary history.

Transitions Before the Transition
Evolution and Stability in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age
Edited by
Erella Hovers Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

This title explores questions surrounding the origins of modern behavior, and the relationships between anatomical and behavioral changes that occurred during the past 200,000 years. It assembles researchers working in Eurasia and Africa to discuss what was happening during the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age (the "Transition"); i.e. the era prior to or during the appearance of anatomically modern humans in their geographic areas.

Caracteristici
The first book to bring together the three main questions regarding modern human origins: how different are we from our ancestors in the Paleolithc/Stone Age, how "difficult" was the transition, and did it occur quickly or gradually Assembles reseachers from Eurasia and Africa to discuss what was happening in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age prior or during the appearance of anatomically modern humans Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
