Document Summary
Week 4 september 29 th , 2016. Expected to have displayed tool-using behavior comparable to that observed among chimpanzees and bonobos: hominin biocultural evolution: the mutual dynamic interactions between biology and culture in human evolution. Biology makes culture possible and developing culture further influences the direction of biological evolution. A taphonomist studies the processes of sedimentation, the action of streams, preservation properties of bone, and carnivore disturbance factors. Reconstruct the chronicle of past human events by providing order to the archeological record. Explain how and why the past happened as it did. Interpret the cognitive and symbolic aspects of past societies: interdisciplinary, site survey: the process of discovering the location of archeological sites. Also called site reconnaissance: four essential products that result from archeological research: Artifacts: objects or materials made or modified for use by hominins. The earliest identified artifacts are made of stone, but hominin tool use is probably older than these artifacts.
