This shift in perspective raises important questions about the relationship between cognition and material culture, posing major challenges for philosophy, cognitive science, archaeology, and anthropology. In How Things Shape the Mind, Lambros Malafouris proposes a cross-disciplinary analytical framework for investigating the ways in which things have become cognitive extensions of the human body. Using a variety of examples and case studies, he considers how those ways might have changed from earliest prehistory to the present. Malafouris's Material Engagement Theory definitively adds materiality--the world of things, artifacts, and material signs--into the cognitive equation. His account not only questions conventional intuitions about the boundaries and location of the human mind but also suggests that we rethink classical archaeological assumptions about human cognitive evolution. 606 $aNeuroanthropology 606 $aMaterial culture 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aCognition and culture 606 $aNeuropsychology 610 $aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 610 $aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Anthropology & Archaeology 615 0$aNeuroanthropology. 615 0$aMaterial culture. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aCognition and culture. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 676 $a612.8 700 $aMalafouris$b Lambros$01140981 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809926503321 996 $aHow things shape the mind$92679102 997 $aUNINA
