Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception – eBook

Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception (PDF) offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the evolution of our visuospatial abilities. By combining insights from cognitive sciences and prehistoric archaeology, this book establishes a vital connection between evolutionary anthropology and neurobiology.

Delving into the intriguing question of how our perception of the body and the surrounding space developed, this book uncovers the fascinating journey of our ancestors towards a remarkable “prosthetic capacity.” This capacity allowed them to seamlessly integrate their brain, body, and technological elements into a unified, functional system.

Within its pages, readers will find thought-provoking chapters on topics such as touch and haptics, peripersonal space, parietal lobe evolution, somatosensory integration, neuroarchaeology, visual behavior, attention, and psychometrics. Each chapter offers valuable insights and sheds light on the complex interplay between our cognitive and physical faculties throughout the evolutionary process.

Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception is an indispensable resource for anyone captivated by the mysteries of human evolution. With its multidisciplinary approach and comprehensive coverage, this ebook offers a captivating exploration that will leave readers with a deeper understanding of our cognitive journey through time.

Cognitive Archaeology, Body Cognition, and the Evolution of Visuospatial Perception represents an essential resource for evolutionary biologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and neuroscientists who are interested in the role of body perception and spatial ability in human cognition.

• Addresses the role of body perception and sensing in human evolution
• Offers a bridge between evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, and cognitive sciences
