Growing Up In The Ice Age by April Nowell
Fossil and Archaeological Evidence of the Lived Lives of Children
Drawing on footprints, fossils, tool-making debris, art, ornaments, and burials, this study reconstructs the daily lives, learning, play, and care of children during the Pleistocene. It challenges the idea that the young are invisible in the archaeological record, showing how apprenticeship, experimentation, and creativity shaped social life and technological innovation. Integrating insights from archaeology, ethnography, primatology, and developmental science, it presents a vivid portrait of childhood as central to cultural transmission and survival in Ice Age societies.
