The Rise of Homo Sapiens by Frederick L Coolidge
The Rise of Homo Sapiens: The Evolution of Human Thinking presents a provocative theory about the evolution of the modern mind based on archaeological evidence and the working memory model of experimental psychologist Alan Baddeley. A unique introduction and primer into the new discipline of cognitive archaeology Introduces scientists and college students (at all levels) to the fascinating interface between the worlds of archaeology and cognitive science
"Coolidge and Wynn offer many useful insights into hominid cognition and provide a framework for model building and testing that can generate unequivocal resultsThe real contribution of The Rise of Homo sapiens, then, is not in its conclusions, but in its methodological commitments." (Journal of Anthropological Research, 2010) "The book presents some intriguing ideas and offers alternative support for those who see a recent origin for modern human behaviour." (South African Archaeological Bulletin, 2010) “Coolidge and Wynn have written a clear, well-researched book that provides a strongly reasoned theoretical argument." (PsycCRITIQUES, 2009) “This volume will be of considerable interest to anyone working in the cognitive sciences, notably anthropologists, archaeologists, and neuropsychologists." (CHOICE, October 2009)
