Landscape of the Mind: Human Evolution and the Archaeology of Thought
ISBN: 9780231147040 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Landscape of the Mind, John F. Hoffecker explores the origin and growth of the human mind, drawing on archaeology, history, and the fossil record. He suggests that, as an indirect result of bipedal locomotion, early humans developed a feedback relationship among their hands, brains, and tools that evolved into the capacity to externalize thoughts in the form of shaped stone objects. When anatomically modern humans evolved a parallel capacity to externalize thoughts as symbolic language, individual brains within social groups became integrated into a "neocortical Internet," or...

Desolate Landscapes: Ice-Age Settlement in Eastern Europe
ISBN: 9780813529929 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ice-Age Eastern Europe was an inhospitable place, isolated from the moderating influence of oceans. Unlike Western Europe, which was settled over half a million years ago, Eastern Europe remained largely unoccupied until the appearance of the cold-adapted Neanderthals. When modern humans arrived from southern latitudes, they were anatomically less suited to colder climates, but successfully colonized Eastern Europe with the aid of innovative technologies that their Neanderthal predecessors lacked. John F. Hoffecker provides an overview of Pleistocene or Ice-Age settlement in Eastern Europe...

Modern Humans: Their African Origin and Global Dispersal
ISBN: 9780231160766 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modern Humans is about the most recent--and perhaps the most important--phase of human evolution: the appearance of anatomically modern people (Homo sapiens) in Africa less than a quarter of a million years ago and their subsequent spread throughout the world. Most of the features that render living human beings unique among all forms of life evolved or developed with Homo sapiens, and in Modern Humans, John F. Hoffecker argues that humans represent a "major transition" in evolution with respect to the storage, transmission, and translation of information, as well...

Human Ecology of Beringia
ISBN: 9780231130608 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twenty-five thousand years ago, sea level fell more than 400 feet below its present position as a consequence of the growth of immense ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere. A dry plain stretching 1,000 miles from the Arctic Ocean to the Aleutians became exposed between northeast Asia and Alaska, and across that plain, most likely, walked the first people of the New World. This book describes what is known about these people and the now partly submerged land, named Beringia, which they settled during the final millennia of the Ice Age. Humans first occupied Beringia during a twilight...

A Prehistory of the North: Human Settlement of the Higher Latitudes
ISBN: 9780813534695 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Early humans did not simply drift northward from their African origins as their abilities to cope with cooler climates evolved. The initial settlement of places like Europe and northern Asia, as well as the later movement into the Arctic and the Americas, actually occurred in relatively rapid bursts of expansion. A Prehistory of the North is the first full-length study to tell the complex story, spanning almost two million years, of how humans inhabited some of the coldest places on earth. In an account rich with illustrations, John Hoffecker traces the history of anatomical...
