| Summary: | The biological and neurological capacity to symbolize, and the products of behavioral, cognitive, sociocultural, linguistic, and technological uses of symbols (symbolism), are fundamental to every aspect of human life. 'The Oxford Handbook of Human Symbolic Evolution' explores the origins of our characteristically human abilities - our ability to speak, create images, play music, and read and write. The text investigates how symbolization evolved in human evolution and how symbolism is expressed across the various areas of human life. The field is intrinsically interdisciplinary - considering findings from fossil studies, scientific research from primatology, developmental psychology, and of course linguistics |
