The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya’aqov Volume II: Ancient Flames and Controlled Use of Fire (Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology)

by Nira Alperson-Afil(Author), Naama Goren-Inbar(Author)
A View from Western Europe Most archaeologists would agree that the emergence of stone tool manufacture and the m- agement of fre are the two most signifcant events in the cultural evolution of early humans. The oldest known stone artifacts are securely dated to 2. 6–2. 5 Ma at several localities in Ethiopia; their association with ungulate remains and observations of cut marks prove that one of their main functions was for butchery (Domínguez-Rodrigo et al. 2005). The record of early stone tools from a number of sites in the time span 2. 5–2. 0 Ma is unequivocal; tool use and manufacture were a regular activity with evidence of planning, foresight and considerable technical skills (Delagnes and Roche 2005). In contrast, the timing of the human control of fre is not fully resolved and the antiquity of its habitual use has been debated until now. This book provides very strong evidence of the habitual use of fre by early humans at the Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov (Israel). The sedimentary sequence at the site is 34 m thick, and it represents different depositional environments, mainly beaches along the margins of a paleo-lake. The Matuyama-Brunhes chron boundary, dated to 0. 78 Ma, occurs in the lower part of the sequence.

La France du paléolithique (French Edition)

French Edition by Pascal Depaepe (Author)
Couvrant plus de deux millions d'années, le Paléolithique est la plus longue période de notre histoire. En Europe occidentale, la présence de l'homme est attestée par des vestiges datés d'au moins un million d'années. Des premiers occupants venant d'Afrique par le Proche-Orient et l'est de l'Europe aux hommes modernes, les Cro-Magnon, en passant par l'homme de Néandertal, 40 000 générations de chasseurs-cueilleurs se sont succédé sur cette extrémité de l'Eurasie qu'est la France. Ces populations clairsemées ont vécu dans des environnements changeant au rythme des glaciations et des réchauffements climatiques. Ils ont chassé ou côtoyé des animaux aujourd'hui disparus comme le mammouth, le lion des cavernes, l'aurochs et le rhinocéros laineux, ou d'autres, tel le renne, ne vivant plus actuellement qu'à des latitudes septentrionales. Ils ont aménagé leur habitat, inventé un outillage performant, enterré leurs morts, créé les splendeurs des grottes Chauvet ou Cosquer, et ainsi posé les fondamentaux de notre humanité. Les recherches sur le Paléolithique éclairent l'histoire des relations entre l'homme et la nature, son devenir face aux modifications climatiques, l'origine des inégalités sociales, et apportent un démenti catégorique aux théories néocréationnistes. Cet ouvrage propose une synthèse des connaissances sur le Paléolithique en France prenant en compte les découvertes les plus récentes, issues notamment des recherches archéologiques préventives, et les nouvelles théories sur la conquête de l'Europe par Homo erectus, la disparition des Néandertaliens, ou encore la naissance des expressions artistiques.

Throwing Fire: Projectile Technology through History
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviews1st Edition
by Alfred W. Crosby (Author)
In Throwing Fire, historian Alfred W. Crosby looks at hard, accurate throwing and the manipulation of fire as unique human capabilities, allowing us to create simple weapons, atomic bombs, and to venture into space. He examines the effects of throwing fire on life on our planet, including species extinctions, the rise of empires and the advance of European Imperialism, and the peril of destructive wars. Throwing fire, which might make Earth uninhabitable for humans, may make it possible for our species to migrate to other bodies of our solar system and even other star systems.
