El arqueólogo y el futuro
El legado vital de un antropólogo universal.Eudald Carbonell, a los sesenta años y después de haber dedicado toda su vida a la arqueología, la antropología y la divulgación, explica a su hijo recién nacido por qué cree en lo que cree, por qué se ha dedicado a la ciencia, cuáles son las cosas que le importan, sus valores, sus prioridades y su filosofía de vida.El libro más personal y humano de Eudald Carbonell. Un regalo para las nuevas generaciones.
The Emergence of a Symbolic Bahaviour
Res. en inglés y francés.
High Resolution Archaeology and Neanderthal Behavior
The aim of this book is to provide a new insight on Neanderthal behaviour using the data recovered in level J of Romaní rockshelter (north-eastern Spain). Due to the sedimentary dynamics that formed the Romaní deposit, the occupation layers are characterized by a high temporal resolution, which makes it easier to interprete the archaeological data in behavioural terms. In addition, the different analytical domains (geoarchaeology, lithic technology, zooarchaeology, taphonomy, anthracology, palaeontology) are addressed from a spatial perspective that is basic to understand human behaviour, but also to evaluate the behavioural inferences in the framework of the archaeological formation processes.
Pleistocene and Holocene Hunter-gatherers in Iberia and the Gibraltar Strait
This volume aims to offer an up-to-date summary of knowledge relating to human predatory societies settled in Iberia. The archaeological record of the region is essential for the reconstruction of human evolution in Europe in biological, behavioural and cultural domains as it reserves the earliest and more significant records of the humanization of the continent and because it allows the reconstruction of the main trends in that process. This is possible thanks to a rich, large and complete record, encompassing all the stages of that development and all the adaptive and cultural modes. Moreover, the discovery of that record is amongst the earliest known archaeological occurrences in the history of archaeology. The book offers a systematic presentation of the current empirical data written by the same research teams already working every year on site excavations. Included is current knowledge of the main archaeo-palaeontological sites with the most significant records. Sites are arranged in eight physiographic and geological regions, with the aim of making clear the adaptive ways of human societies to similar environments. Over 400 illustrations, tables and figures, most in colour.
Prehistoric Herders and Farmers
This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the El Mirador cave located on the Atapuerca karstic system, one of the longest Pleistocene and Holocene archaeopaleontological deposits in Iberia. This book presents the results including new unpublished and published data to discuss different aspects related to the prehistoric herders and farmers that occupied this territory. Divided into four parts, the book covers site presentation and the paleoenvironmental reconstruction covering a chronological span between 7060 ± 40-3040 ± 40 yrs. The history of the excavation and the excavation methodology is detailed in this part including new unpublished recording techniques using 3D scanning and ...
Sapiens
"El largo camino de los homínidos hacia la inteligencia ¿En qué momento de la historia de la evolución empezaron a hablar los homínidos? ¿Cómo consiguieron descubrir el fuego? ¿Por qué el hombre de Neandertal fue borrado del planeta? ¿Por qué hay razas diferentes? ¿ Quiénes son realmente nuestros antepasados directos? Pocas veces tendremos la oportunidad de leer una explicación tan clara sobre nuestros orígenes como en este libro de entrevistas a tres de los principales especialistas: Eudald Carbonell, Salvador Moyà y Robert Sala. Con un lenguaje accesible y una admirable capacidad de comunicación, los tres contestan a las preguntas del periodista Josep Corbella y nos fascinan con la historia más apasionante que puede explicarse: la increíble historia de los humanos. Según La Vanguardia, Sapiens es un libro ""riguroso y encantador, en la más gloriosa tradición divulgativa de Sagan o Stephen Jay Gould"". "
Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Oldowan
An understanding of the uniquely human behavior of stone tool making tackles questions about hominins’ ability to culturally transmit and expand their base of social and practical knowledge and their cognitive capacities for advanced planning. The appearance of stone tools has often been viewed as a threshold event, impacting directly and profoundly the later course of cultural and social evolution. Alternatively, it has been understood as a prelude to significant succeeding changes in behavioral, social and biological evolution of hominins. This book presents a series of recent enquiries into the technological and adaptive significance of Oldowan stone tools. While anchored in a long research tradition, these studies rely on recent discoveries and innovative analyses of the archaeological record of ca. 2.6–1.0 million years ago in Africa and Eurasia, dealing with the earliest lithic industries as manifestations of hominin adaptations and as expressions of hominin cognitive abilities.
A Prehistory of the North
Annotation Early humans did not drift north from Africa as their ability to cope with cooler climates evolved. Settlement of Europe and northern Asia occurred in relatively rapid bursts of expansion. This study tells the complex story, spanning almost two million years, of how humans inhabited some of the coldest places on earth.
