This volume represents the proceedings of the Irving Stone Memorial Symposium on "The Origin of Humans and Humanness." Scientists in the fields of anthropology, archaeology, biology and ecology were invited to discuss their research concerning the how's, where's and why's of the evolutionary history of humans. Using our knowledge of the behavior and reproduction of living primates, chapter 1 describes what made the earliest human-like animals of 4 million years ago different from their ape relatives. While showing how the science of paleontology works, the origin of our genus, Homo, is discussed in chapter 2. With emphasis on those humans who first made regular use of stone tools some 2 million years ago, chapter 3 interprets ancient human behavior and ecology from an archeological perspective. Tools from genetics, molecular biology, archaeology and paleontology are used to examine the origin of modern Homo sapiens in chapter 4. Chapter 5 looks at the artistry of Ice Age craftsmen. Finally, using computer methods, chapter 6 delves into the complex issue of how does human behavior change, and what is the relationship between biological and cultural evolution?

In paleoanthropology the group of hominids known as the "robust" australopithecines has emerged as one of the most interesting. Through them we have the opportunity to examine the origin, natural history, and ultimate extinction of not just a single species, but of an entire branch in the hominid fossil record. It is generally agreed that the human lineage can be traced back to this group of comparatively small-brained, large-toothed creatures. This volume focuses on the evolutionary history of these early hominids with state-of-the-art contributions by leading international authorities in the field. Although a case can be made for a "robust" lineage, the functional and taxonomic implications of the morphological features are subject to vigorous disagreement. An area of lively debate is the possible causal relationship between the presence of early Homo and the origin, evolution, and virtual extinction of "robust" australopithecines.This volume summarizes what has been learned about the evolutionary history of the "robust" australopithecines in the 50 years since Robert Broom first encountered the visage of a new kind of ape-man from Kromdraai. New discoveries from Kromdraai to Lomekwi have served to keep us aware that the paleontological record for hominid evolution is hardly exhausted. Because of such finds no single volume can hope to stand as a summary on the "robust" australopithecines for very long, but this classic volume comes close to achieving this goal. The book sheds new light upon some old questions and also acts to provide new questions. The answers to those questions bring us closer to a fuller understanding and appreciation of the origins, evolution, and ultimate demise of the "robust" australopithecines. Since the "robust" australopithecines most likely stand as our closest relatives, a better understanding of their origin, history, and demise serves to provide heightened appreciation of the course of human evolution itself. This definitive volume addresses the questions and problems surrounding this important lineage.

Wiktor Stoczkowski, a palaeo-anthropologist, argues that the theories of human origins developed by archaeologists and physical anthropologists from the early nineteenth century to the present day are structurally similar to Western folk theories, and to the speculations of earlier philosophers. Reviewing a remarkable range of thinkers writing in a variety of European languages, he makes a convincing argument for this case. Even though the book criticises the lack of development in theories of human origins, its conclusion is optimistic about the power of the scientific approach to deliver more reliable theories - but only if the influences of popular discourse on its thinking are properly identified.

This 3-volume handbook brings together contributions by the world ́s leading specialists that reflect the broad spectrum of modern palaeoanthropology, thus presenting an indispensable resource for professionals and students alike. Vol. 1 reviews principles, methods, and approaches, recounting recent advances and state-of-the-art knowledge in phylogenetic analysis, palaeoecology and evolutionary theory and philosophy. Vol. 2 examines primate origins, evolution, behaviour, and adaptive variety, emphasizing integration of fossil data with contemporary knowledge of the behaviour and ecology of living primates in natural environments. Vol. 3 deals with fossil and molecular evidence for the evolution of Homo sapiens and its fossil relatives.

Where do our images about early hominids come from? In this fascinating in-depth study, David Van Reybrouck demonstrates how input from ethnography and primatology has deeply influenced our visions about the past from the 19th century to this day - often far beyond the available evidence. Victorian scholars were keen to look at contemporary Australian and Tasmanian aboriginals to understand the enigmatic Neanderthal fossils. Likewise, today's primatologists debate to what extent bonobos, baboons or chimps may be regarded as stand-ins for early human ancestors. The belief that the contemporary world provides 'living links' still goes strong. Such primate models, Van Reybrouck argues, continue the highly problematic 'comparative method' of the Victorian times. He goes on to show how the field of ethnoarchaeology has succeeded in circumventing the major pitfalls of such analogical reasoning.A truly interdisciplinary study, this work shows how scholars working in different fields can effectively improve their methods for interpreting the deep past by understanding the historical challenges of adjacent disciplines.Overviewing two centuries of intellectual debate in fields as diverse as archaeology, ethnography and primatology, Van Reybrouck's book is one long plea for trying to understand the past on its own terms, rather than as facile projections from the present.David Van Reybrouck (Bruges, 1971) was trained as an archaeologist at the universities of Leuven, Cambridge and Leiden. Before becoming a highly successful literary author (The Plague, Mission, Congo...), he worked as a historian of ideas. For more than twelve years, he was co-editor of Archaeological Dialogues. In 2011-12, he held the prestigious Cleveringa Chair at the University of Leiden.

Yves Coppens a pris la suite, au Collège de France, de l’abbé Breuil, de Teilhard de Chardin, de Leroy-Gourhan, les grands maîtres français de la préhistoire : « J’ai eu la chance de vivre, de bout en bout, une des aventures les plus exaltantes qu’aient connues les sciences de l’évolution depuis leur origine. »Depuis un demi-siècle, la paléoanthropologie n’a cessé de progresser, avec la découverte de nouveaux fossiles, comme celui de Lucy, mais surtout grâce à l’apport de nouvelles méthodes scientifiques. C’est ce formidable bond en avant du savoir sur nos origines que retrace ici Yves Coppens, lui qui en a été l’un des grands acteurs. Les leçons réunies ici constituent un document unique pour mesurer le profond renouvellement qu’a connu cette discipline essentielle pour la connaissance que l’humanité a d’elle-même, mais aussi le reflet du cheminement d’un chercheur hors pair.

Depuis toujours, l'homme s'est interrogé sur ses origines. Dépourvu de repères, il s'est d'abord tourné vers les religions. Mais en 1859, Darwin expose une théorie présentant pour la première fois les concepts de variabilité et de sélection ; cette révolution ouvre alors la voie à 150 ans de recherches dans de multiples disciplines, au cours desquelles d'innombrables progrès vont être réalisés dans la compréhension des phénomènes à l'origine de l'émergence de l'homme. Toutefois, et en dépit des récentes avancées majeures tant en paléontologie qu'en biologie moléculaire, l'origine de l'homme reste encore à ce jour une énigme. C'est afin de faire le point sur l'ensemble des courants de pensée à l'origine des idées sur l'évolution, mais aussi sur l'état actuel des recherches sur la spéciation humaine, que l'auteur, expert du domaine, professeur de médecine et spécialiste en génétique, a établi cette référence sans équivalent. Elle met en perspective passé, présent et avenir de la quête des origines de l'homme, présente des résultats surprenants et des scénarios d'hominisation originaux, et éclaire d'un jour nouveau le futur des recherches dans le domaine. Clair et didactique, cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous qui. à l'instar de Paul Gauguin, se sont un jour demandés " D'où venons-nous ? Qui sommes-nous ? Ou allons-nous ?".
