Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Visiting the prehistoric sites of East Africa the authors of this book taught themselves how to make the same stone tools that the earliest humans had. They were astonished to discover how effective these tools were - they were able to skin and cut up an elephant using only stone flakes a couple of inches long. The authors experiments provide evidence for the idea of early technology and brain evolution being in a positive feedback loop: more technology gives more advantage to bigger brains, which come up with even more technology. They also found that right-handedness can be traced back a far as 1.9 million years ago; this suggests that the left-right brain specialization that gave rise to speech is at least as old. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this dramatic reconstruction of the daily lives of the earliest tool-making humans, two leading anthropologists reveal how the first technologies-- stone, wood, and bone tools-- forever changed the course of human evolution. Drawing on two decades of fieldwork around the world, authors Kathy Schick and Nicholas Toth take readers on an eye-opening journey into humankind's distant past-- traveling from the savannahs of East Africa to the plains of northern China and the mountains of New Guinea-- offering a behind-the-scenes look at the discovery, excavation, and interpretation of early prehistoric sites. Based on the authors' unique mix of archaeology and practical experiments, ranging from making their own stone tools to theorizing about the origins of human intelligence, "Making Silent Stones Speak" brings the latest ideas about human evolution to life. In a dramatic reconstruction of the daily lives of the earliest toolmakers, two anthropologists reveal how the first technology--stone, wood, and bone tools--ultimately changed the course of human evolution. Photos and line art throughout. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
