Frederick L. Coolidge, Thomas Wynn, "The Rise of Homo sapiens: The Evolution of Modern Thinking"

Product Description

Review

"Thirty years ago, archaeologist Tom Wynn pioneered modern attempts to unravel the evolution of cognition by looking at the archaeology of our ancestors in the light of psychological theory. Now he joins with psychologist Fred Coolidge to tackle the problem from both sides of the question. As with other combined attempts, the authors found that they both learned a lot about their own disciplines from working with the other. This resulting book is a delight and a constant source of insights. Readers will learn about their own ways thinking, why it is as it is, and how it came to be that way. This is a tale, both for the public and for professionals in many disciplines, told with wit and authority."

–Iain Davidson, Harvard University and University of New England

"Scientific and humanistic disciplines use different approaches and different perspectives. Their combination is delicate, and necessary. Here we have an incredibly effective and successful example of the potentialities of such integration"

–Emiliano Bruner, Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH)

"A thoughtful account of human evolution, focused on how a biological change in cognition could explain the emergence of modern humans in Africa and their subsequent expansion to Eurasia."

–Richard Klein, Stanford University
