The Rise of Homo Sapiens Avis

"Coolidge and Wynn offer many useful insights into hominid cognition and provide a framework for model building and testing that can generate unequivocal results. The real contribution of The Rise of Homo sapiens, then, is not in its conclusions, but in its methodological commitments." (Journal of Anthropological Research, 2010) "The book presents some intriguing ideas and offers alternative support for those who see a recent origin for modern human behaviour." (South African Archaeological Bulletin, 2010) Coolidge and Wynn have written a clear, well-researched book that provides a strongly reasoned theoretical argument." (PsycCRITIQUES, 2009) This volume will be of considerable interest to anyone working in the cognitive sciences, notably anthropologists, archaeologists, and neuropsychologists." (CHOICE, October 2009)
