Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Preliminary dates suggest that traits implying the full modern capacity for culture appeared in Africa about 50,000 years ago and then advanced through Asia and Europe. It can be argued that this development depended on neural change broadly like those that accompanied earlier archaeologically detectable behavioural advances. This explanation is problematic however, because the putative change was in brain organization, not size, and fossil skulls provide little or no secure evidence for brain structure. Other potential objections to this hypothesis include archaeological evidence that some Neanderthals were actually capable of fully modern behaviour, and that some Africans were behaviourally modern more than 90,000 years ago. |
