How To Think Like a Neandertal
"An intriguing look at fellow beings who seem to have been 'inexact mirrors of ourselves'"- Kirkus"In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick Coolidge provide one of the most rounded portraits yet of a fossil human. The book covers familiar areas - diet, symbolism and language - but also includes innovative assessments of Neanderthals' capacity to tell jokes, and even speculations on what they might have dreamed about."- Clive Gamble, Nature"Engaging reconstruction of Neandertal life..."- The New York Times"...How to Think Like a Neandertal is interesting and engaging. Written for a lay audience, it should nonetheless be of great interest to professionals in anthropology, evolutionary biology, and psychology. I also highly recommend it to anyone who wonders what it would have been like to live alongside another intelligent being who shared the designation homo."- PsycCRITIQUES
