With a focus on lithic technology, the book analyzes ancient materials and cultures to systematically explore the theoretical and physical aspects of culture, convergence, and populations in human evolution and prehistory. The book will be of interest to academics, students and researchers in archaeology, paleoanthropology, genetics, and paleontology. The book begins by addressing early prehistory, discussing the convergent evolution of behaviors and the diverse ecological conditions driving the success of different evolutionary paths. Chapters discuss these topics and technology in the context of the Lower Paleolithic/Earlier Stone age and Middle Paleolithic/Middle Stone Age. The book then moves towards a focus on the prehistory of our species over the last 40,000 years. Topics covered include the human evolutionary and dispersal consequences of the Middle-Upper Paleolithic Transition in Western Eurasia. Readers will also learn about the cultural convergences, and divergences, that occurred during the Terminal Pleistocene and Holocene, such as the budding of human societies in the Americas. The book concludes by integrating these various perspectives and theories, and explores different methods of analysis to link technological developments and cultural convergence. . 410 0$aVertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology,$x1877-9085 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aPaleontology 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aEvolutionary Theory 606 $aAnthropology 615 0$aPaleontology. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology). 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aPaleontology. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aEvolutionary Theory. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a599.938 702 $aGroucutt$b Huw S$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416128103321 996 $aCulture History and Convergent Evolution$91983095 997 $aUNINA
