Abstract
Handaxes as a measure of the mental capabilities of early hominids
Shannon J Patrick McPherron
655 - 663
Questions the association of changes in handaxe shape through time with differences in mental constructs or elevated mental abilities. It is argued that basic factors such as raw materials and reduction intensity are better able to explain the observed patterns. It is concluded that the existence of mental templates for preferred handaxe shapes seems unlikely.
