Reassessing Paleolithic Subsistence

The Neandertal and Modern Human Foragers of Saint-Césaire

Eugène Morin | Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario

The contribution of Neandertals to the biological and cultural emergence of early modern humans remains highly debated in anthropology.

This book contributes to this debate by exploring the diets and foraging patterns of both Neandertals and early modern humans. 384pp 112 b/w illus. 4 maps 61 tables Jul. 2022 9781009125062 Paperback GBP 25.99 / USD 39.99 eISBN 9781139150972
