- ncludes bibliographical references and index
"Stone tool analysis relies on a strong background in analytical and methodological
techniques. However, lithic technological analysis has not been well integrated with
a theoretically informed approach to understanding how humans procured, made, and
used stone tools. Evolutionary theory has great potential to fill this gap. This collection
of essays brings together several different evolutionary perspectives to demonstrate
how lithic technological systems are a by-product of human behavior. The essays cover
a range of topics, including human behavioral ecology, cultural transmission, phylogenetic
analysis, risk management, macroevolution, dual inheritance theory, cladistics, central
place foraging, costly signaling, selection, drift, and various applications of evolutionary
ecology"
