About This Item
New York: Thames and Hudson, 1996. first American edition. hardcover. Book VG+: foxing to outside edge of text block, offset to endpapers, text clean, binding tight./DJ VG: age toning, NOT clipped.. 8vo 288pp. + 70 illustrations. from front flap: "This is the first archaeological account to support the new modular concept of the mind. The concept, promulgated by cognitive and evolutionary psychologists, views the mind as a collection of specialized intelligences or "cognitive domains," somewhat like a Swiss army knife with its specialized blades and tools. Arguing that only archaeology can answer many of the key questions raised by this new concept, Steven Mithen delineates a three-phase sequence for the mind's evolution over six million years--from early Homo in Africa to the ice-age Neanderthals to our modern modular minds." #01917.
