Description

Explore the origins of modern human behavior in this scholarly volume from Routledge. Before Modern Humans: New Perspectives on the African Stone Age provides a detailed assessment of Lower and Middle Pleistocene African prehistory. Grant McCall presents a paradigm shift regarding the transition into the Middle Stone Age, focusing on the emergence of landscape use patterns that resemble those of modern human foragers. The text examines the development of "home base" residential site use, arguing that this transition occurred in a mosaic fashion over hundreds of thousands of years. By analyzing these shifts, the book proposes a model of brain evolution driven by increasing subsistence diversity and intensity. This work is an essential resource for those studying human evolution and the biological sciences.
