The fossil evidence for spatial cognition
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (3):424-425 (2002)
| Abstract | Wynn's model for the evolution of spatial cognition is well supported by fossil evidence from brain endocasts, and from neurological studies of the cerebellum and the posterior parietal region of the cerebral cortex. Wynn's intriguing hypothesis that the spatial skill reflected in artifacts is an index of navigational ability, could be further explored by an analysis of lithic transport patterns. | |||||||||
