Locating early Homo and Homo erectus tool production along the extractive foraging/cognitive continuum
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2003
Abstract
This commentary contests Wynn's diagnosis of the cognitive implications of the earliest stone tools and Acheulian tools. I argue that the earliest stone tools imply greater cognitive abilities than those of great apes, and that Acheulian tools imply more than the preoperational cognitive abilities Wynn suggests. Finally, I suggest an alternative adaptive scenario for the evolution of hominid cognitive abilities.
