  • The Humans Who Went Extinct:Why Neanderthals died out and we survived

    Why Neanderthals died out and we survived

    par Clive Finlayson ...

    Arte rupestre, captura de aves y revolución cognitiva

    par Clive Finlayson ...
    Desde finales de la década de 1980, la teoría dominante de los orígenes humanos ha sido que una «revolución cognitiva» (hace 50.000 años) condujo al advenimiento de nuestra especie, el Homo sapiens. Como resultado de esta revolución, nuestra especie se extendió y reemplazó a todas las especies arcaicas de Homo existentes, lo que finalmente condujo a la superioridad de los humanos modernos.
