This reference work should be the first resource for anyone interested in the origins and nature of human symbolic abilities. The book is about the evolution of humanity: our language, art, tools, and communication. As such it covers a wide range of disciplines: anthropology, psychology, primatology, paleontology, and archaeology. The various topics are dealt with by experts from each field, in authoritative articles that are both scholarly and readable for a wide audience. The book is profusely illustrated, with many striking examples of prehistoric art.
