Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the paper compares the archaeological evidence associated with the appearance of anatomically modern humans in Europe and Africa. In Europe there is a rapid appearance of new behavioural elements that are often seen to represent a `revolution' in behavioural and perhaps cognitive terms, centred on c. 43--35,000 years BP. In Africa, new behavioural elements seem to appear in a more gradual, mosaic, fashion but show many of the distinctive features of European Upper Palaeolithic culture by at least 70--80,000 BP. The central problem remains that of assessing how far these well-documented changes in the archaeological record reflect not only major shifts in behavioural patterns, but also underlying shifts in the cognitive capacities for behaviour, including complexity in the structure of language | ||||
