Short description:
Contributes to the debate about modern human origins by exploring the diets and foraging patterns of both Neandertals and early modern humans.
Long description:
The contribution of Neandertals to the biological and cultural emergence of early modern humans remains highly debated in anthropology. Particularly controversial is the long-held view that Neandertals in Western Europe were replaced 30,000 to 40,000 years ago by early modern humans expanding out of Africa. This book contributes to this debate by exploring the diets and foraging patterns of both Neandertals and early modern humans. Eug&&&232;ne Morin examines the faunal remains from Saint-C&&&233;saire in France, which contains an exceptionally long and detailed chronological sequence, as well as genetic, anatomical and other archaeological evidence to shed new light on the problem of modern human origins.
'The overwhelming strength of Morin's book is that it takes a rather niche topic, subsistence practices in a limited area of Western Europe, and effectively addresses a significant archaeological question within a much larger regional framework, using methods that are applicable to other time periods and locations ... an extremely important contribution and excellent model for future analysts studying the region.' Britt M. Starkovich, Current Anthropology
