De prehistorie blijft fascineren. Hoe verscheen onze soort ten tonele? Hoe divers waren de samenlevingen toen en welke relaties waren er met andere menselijke soorten? Hoe organiseerde de prehistorische mens zijn/haar bestaan? Hoe dacht hij/zij? Hoe verspreidde hij/zij zich? Hoe evolueerden die samenlevingen? Op deze en andere beklijvende vragen biedt dit vierde volume in de reeks 'Historisch denken' een antwoord gebaseerd op recente wetenschappelijke inzichten uit de archeologie, antropologie en geschiedenis. De auteurs zoomen in op onze vroegste voorouders, hun verspreiding over de wereld en de ontmoeting tussen de neanderthalers en anatomisch moderne mensen, evenals op evoluties ten gevolge van domesticatie en klimaatsveranderingen. Dit laat de lezer toe om, voorbij de klassieke vooroordelen en stereotype beeldvorming, inzicht te verwerven in de steeds complexer wordende prehistorische samenlevingen in de oude wereld.

In this book, Katina Lillios provides an up-to-date synthesis of the rich histories of the peoples who lived on the Iberian Peninsula between 1,400,000 (the Paleolithic) and 3,500 years ago (the Bronze Age) as revealed in their art, burials, tools, and monuments. She highlights the exciting new discoveries on the Peninsula, including the evidence for some of the earliest hominins in Europe, Neanderthal art, interbreeding between Neanderthals and modern humans, and relationships to peoples living in North Africa, the Mediterranean, and Western Europe. This is the first book to relate the ancient history of the Peninsula to broader debates in anthropology and archaeology. Amply illustrated and written in an accessible style, it will be of interest to archaeologists and students of prehistoric Spain and Portugal.

This book describes an archaeological investigation of human occupation in the northern area of the Patagonian archipelago in the far south of South America. It is of global anthropological and archaeological interest, dealing as it does with an archipelago characterised by a maze of islands, fiords, channels, volcanoes and continental glaciers, in an area which is still very sparsely inhabited with only scattered settlements. It was one of the last parts of the continent to be populated by man, with the arrival of marine hunter-gatherer-fishers. The arrival of human beings in this area, and their subsistence strategies in varied environments, constitute a new example of man's ability to adapt over the course of his history. It is also of interest to document how humans overcome some biogeographical barriers to occupy territories, and how other kinds of barrier restrict movement and access to other regions, leaving certain human groups isolated. Two hunter-gatherer traditions, one marine and one pedestrian, with very different cultural development processes, coexisted in this part of Patagonia separated by less than 100 km of mountains, volcanoes and glaciers. There is no evidence of contact between them over their whole time sequence; on the contrary, the archaeological and bioanthropological evidence indicates two independent axes of movement: one used by canoe groups along the Pacific coast and the other by pedestrian groups in the interior of the continent east of the Andes.
