Synopsis "Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception"
Cognitive Archeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception offers comprehensive perspective on the role of brain form and function, body cognition, and visuospatial integration in the evolution of ancient and modern human species. The book covers evolutionary neuroanatomy, cognitive sciences, and experimental archaeology, providing a bridge between anthropology and evolutionary studies to neurosciences. Written by international experts in paleoanthropology and prehistoric archaeology, as well as neurobiology and psychology, the book explores how body perception and spatial capacity may have evolved to enhance a "prosthetic capacity" able to integrate the brain, body and technological discoveries into a single functional system. Chapters discuss the anatomy, function and evolution of the parietal cortex in human and non-human primates. In addition, the book covers the evolution of visuospatial cognition and how modern brain imaging can trace these changes back millions of years.
