Guts and brains : an integrative approach to the hominin record
Full text linkThe human brain and its one hundred billion neurons compose the most complex organ in the body and harness more than 20 per cent of all the energy we produce. Why do we have such large and energy-demanding brains, and how have we been able to afford such an expensive organ for thousands of years? Guts and Brains discusses the key variables at stake in such a question, including the relationship between brain size and diet, diet and social organization, and large brains and the human sexual division of labour. This interdisciplinary volume provides an entry for the reader into understanding the development of both early primates and our own species.Wetensch. publicati

The middle palaeolithic occupation of Europe
No full textThis volume focuses on the evidence from the Middle Palaeolithic, assessing it in its own right rather than looking at it for signs of the development of "modern humans" as they become recognizable in the subsequent Upper Palaeolithic period. It provides useful regional reviews of the evidence from different regions of Europe. It is the second of three volumes on the phases of the Palaeolithic being sponsored by the European Science Foundation
