| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index True grit -- The caveman diet -- Zen and the art of spear making -- A focus on family -- It's symbolic -- Speaking of tongues -- A Neandertal walked into a bar -- To sleep, perchance to dream -- You've got personality -- Thinking like a Neandertal "There have been many books, movies, and even TV commercials featuring Neandertals--some serious, some comical. But what was it really like to be a Neandertal? How were their lives similar to or different from ours? In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick L. Coolidge team up to provide a brilliant account of the mental life of Neandertals, drawing on the most recent fossil and archaeological remains. Indeed, some Neandertal remains are not fossilized, allowing scientists to recover samples of their genes--one specimen had the gene for red hair and, more provocatively, all had a gene called FOXP2, which is thought to be related to speech. Given the differences between their faces and ours, their voices probably sounded a bit different, and the range of consonants and vowels they could generate might have been different. But they could talk, and they had a large (perhaps huge) vocabulary--words for places, routes, techniques, individuals, and emotions. Extensive archaeological remains of stone tools and living sites (and, yes, they did often live in caves) indicate that Neandertals relied on complex technical procedures and spent most of their lives in small family groups. The authors sift the evidence that Neandertals had a symbolic culture--looking at their treatment of corpses, the use of fire, and possible body coloring--and conclude that they probably did not have a sense of the supernatural. The book explores the brutal nature of their lives, especially in northwestern Europe, where men and women with spears hunted together for mammoths and wooly rhinoceroses. They were pain tolerant, very likely taciturn, and not easy to excite. Wynn and Coolidge offer here an eye-opening portrait of Neandertals, painting a remarkable picture of these long-vanished people and providing insight, as they go along, into our own minds and culture"--Provided by publisher |

But what was it really like to be a Neandertal? How were their lives similar to or different from ours? In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick L. Coolidge team up to provide a brilliant account of the mental life of Neandertals, drawing on the most recent fossil and archaeological remains. Indeed, some Neandertal remains are not fossilized, allowing scientists to recover samples of their genes--one specimen had the gene for red hair and, more provocatively, all had a gene called FOXP2, which is thought to be related to speech. Given the differences between their faces and ours, their voices probably sounded a bit different, and the range of consonants and vowels they could generate might have been different. But they could talk, and they had a large (perhaps huge) vocabulary--words for places, routes, techniques, individuals, and emotions. Extensive archaeological remains of stone tools and living sites (and, yes, they did often live in caves) indicate that Neandertals relied on complex technical procedures and spent most of their lives in small family groups. The authors sift the evidence that Neandertals had a symbolic culture--looking at their treatment of corpses, the use of fire, and possible body coloring--and conclude that they probably did not have a sense of the supernatural. The book explores the brutal nature of their lives, especially in northwestern Europe, where men and women with spears hunted together for mammoths and wooly rhinoceroses. They were pain tolerant, very likely taciturn, and not easy to excite. Wynn and Coolidge offer here an eye-opening portrait of Neandertals, painting a remarkable picture of these long-vanished people and providing insight, as they go along, into our own minds and culture"--Provided by publisher Science Natural history Geology NATURE / Fossils bisacsh Cognition and culture fast Ethnopsychology fast Human evolution fast Neanderthals fast Social archaeology fast Geologie Naturwissenschaft Neanderthals Social archaeology Cognition and culture Ethnopsychology Human evolution Kognitive Psychologie (DE-588)4073586-2 gnd rswk-swf Denken (DE-588)4011450-8 gnd rswk-swf Ethnopsychologie (DE-588)4188478-4 gnd rswk-swf Paläanthropologie (DE-588)4173104-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziokultur (DE-588)4299677-6 gnd rswk-swf Evolutionstheorie (DE-588)4071051-8 gnd rswk-swf Neandertaler (DE-588)4171356-4 gnd rswk-swf Neandertaler (DE-588)4171356-4 s Denken (DE-588)4011450-8 s Kognitive Psychologie (DE-588)4073586-2 s Paläanthropologie (DE-588)4173104-9 s 1\p DE-604 Soziokultur (DE-588)4299677-6 s Ethnopsychologie (DE-588)4188478-4 s Evolutionstheorie (DE-588)4071051-8 s 2\p DE-604 Coolidge, Frederick L.
