Some background from the author: “Several years ago I was among physical anthropologist colleagues at conference in Gibraltar and we were discussing how difficult it was to relate lithic archaeology evidence to other evidence for in human evolution. I wondered aloud that it might be fun to try to write a book showing how of how stone tools changed in prehistory and in relation to human evolution without using any of the named stone tool industries, age-stages, or any but the minimum number of traditionally-recognized artifact-types archaeologists customarily use. This is that book.”
