Review
`this book is worth reading ... it sits comfortably within the general zeitgeist of current work in ecology and evolution ... I highly recommend this volume. It is beautifully illustrated with pictures of the early hominids and the artefacts they produced. ... if you are interested in your past, and how your past has provided you with the symbolic tools to be a scientist, then this is the handbook for you.' TREE, vol.12, no.9, September 1997
`it is a truly remarkable achievement and provides an invaluable resource. ... This handbook does indeed lay the foundations for increased collaborative research and will facilitate interdisciplinary teaching on cognitive evolution. ... a vast bibliographic resource ... it is sure to remain a standard work of reference for a long time' The Times Higher Education Supplement --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
