[Paléolithique et Mésolithique / Anthropologie] Clive Finlayson (2019) - The Smart Neanderthal : Bird catching, Cave Art, and the Cognitive Revolution, Oxford, Oxford University Press, 240 p. EAN 9780198797524, 23,00 €. Evidence that Neanderthals caught birds and used their feathers for decoration, along with recent discoveries of Neanderthal cave art, are challenging our preconceptions of the cognitive gap between Neanderthals and modern humans. Clive Finlayson draws on new evidence to overturn the old image of the Neanderthal, and our relationship with them. - Overturns current thinking about Neanderthals and the 'cognitive revolution' using new evidence of their intellectual abilities - A personal account of the author's and his colleagues' work in Gibraltar and their discovery of new evidence about Neanderthals' relationships with birds - Captures the excitement and challenges of working in the field - Argues that aspects of Neanderthal behaviour indicate that they were not cognitively inferior to Modern Humans but had their own rituals and art forms. |
