| Opplysninger | "This volume is an outgrowth of a symposium organized for the 74th Annual Society for American Archaeology meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, titled Evolutionary Approaches to Understanding Stone Technologies as a Byproduct of Human Behavior" - Forordet.. - "Stone tool analysis relies on a strong background in analytical and methodological techniques. However, lithic technological analysis has not been well integrated with a theoretically informed approach to understanding how humans procured, made, and used stone tools. Evolutionary theory has great potential to fill this gap. This collection of essays brings together several different evolutionary perspectives to demonstrate how lithic technological systems are a by-product of human behavior. The essays cover a range of topics, including human behavioral ecology, cultural transmission, phylogenetic analysis, risk management, macroevolution, dual inheritance theory, cladistics, central place foraging, costly signaling, selection, drift, and various applications of evolutionary ecology"--
