Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
It is argued that an emerging concern with reputation building seen amongst higher primates developed within highly collaborative Acheulian societies into a concern with 'trustworthiness' and the expression of 'gestures of goodwill' to others via handaxe form. This argument is presented as an alternative to the 'sexy handaxe theory' (Kohn and Mithen, Antiquity, 1999, 73: 518'“26), which envisaged the production of handaxes as driven by sexual selection processes common to all mammal species. | ||
