Emergence of Mind<\/p>\n
s095<\/a><\/p>\n Iain Davidson Recent discussions of the emergence of mind have emphasised the need to consider evidence from all of the disciplines of primatology, psychology, and linguistics as well as physical anthropology and the archaeology of subsistence, stone artefacts, bone tools, ochre, art and the spatial organisation of activities within sites and across landscapes. Views have polarised around two hypotheses: an early emergence to account for the evidence of expansion of brain size, the earliest appearance of regular use of stone tools and changes in subsistence at the time of the emergence of the first fossils that physical anthropologists call Homo; a late emergence, probably associated with the use of symbols and dated some time between the appearance of fully modern humans, Homo sapiens, in Africa and the colonisation of Australia. In this session, data relevant to both early and late hypotheses are presented in the light of understandings of primatology, psychology and linguistics by specialists in physical anthropology, and the archaeology of subsistence, stone artefacts, bone tools, ochre, and the spatial organisation of activities within sites and across landscapes. In particular there are papers about the latest tantalising evidence from the Middle Stone Age of southern Africa.<\/p>\n papers: Emergence of Mind s095 Iain Davidson Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology School of Geography, Planning, Archaeology and Palaeoanthropology University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA Recent discussions of the emergence of mind have emphasised the need to consider evidence from all of the disciplines of primatology, psychology, and linguistics as well as physical anthropology and the … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":197,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions\/197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worldarchaeologicalcongress.com\/wac4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
