The focal time spans the Pleistocene Epoch (c. 2.5 million–11,700 years ago) during which important human traits, such as obligate bipedalism that freed the hands to engage in creative activities, a large brain relative to body size, language, and social complexity, developed in the general forms that they are found today. The handbook is the first of its kind, and it is expected to play a significant role in human evolutionary research by:.❖ Collating the African Stone Age record, which exists in a fragmented state along the lines of national boundaries and colonial experiences..❖ Showcasing emerging conceptual and methodological advances in African Pleistocene archaeology..❖ Providing reference datasets for teaching and researching African prehistory..❖ Making Africa’s Stone Age record accessible to researchers and students based in Africa who may not have access to journal publications where most new field discoveries are published..The Handbook features 128 chapters, of which | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | African Stone Age; Pleistocene Archaeology of Africa; Earlier Stone Age sites; Middle Stone Age sites; H | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-20290-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-20292-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-20290-2 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
