Abstract:

The emergence of symbolic culture, classically identified with the European 
cave paintings of the Ice Age, is now seen, in the light of recent groundbreaking 
discoveries, as a complex nonlinear process taking root in a remote past and in 
different regions of the planet. In this book the archaeologists responsible for 
some of these new discoveries, flanked by ethologists interested in primate 
cognition and cultural transmission, evolutionary psychologists modelling the 
emergence of metarepresentations, as well as biologists, philosophers, neuro-
scientists and an astronomer combine their research findings. Their results call 
into question our very conception of human nature and animal behaviour, and 
they create epistemological bridges between disciplines that build the 
foundations for a novel vision of our lineage's cultural trajectory and the 
processes that have led to the emergence of human societies as we know 
them.
