1. 1. Cognitive Archaeology And Human Evolution

   

   An interdisciplinary survey of how archaeological evidence can illuminate the evolution of the human mind, it links stone tool traditions and other material remains to capacities such as working memory, executive control, language, and symbolic thought. Drawing on case studies from Paleolithic technologies alongside insights from cognitive psychology and neuroscience, it models the emergence of planning, innovation, social learning, and cumulative culture. It also evaluates the methods and limits of inferring cognition from artifacts, highlighting key debates about when and how distinct cognitive traits arose in our lineage.
