"[First] volume presents the first of two proceedings from the International Conference
on the Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans, which took place in Tokyo in
November 2012. Focussing on a highly innovative working hypothesis called the 'learning
hypothesis', which attempts to explain the replacement as a result of differences
in the learning abilities of these two hominid populations, the conference served
as the latest multidisciplinary discussion forum on this intriguing Palaeoanthropological
issue. The present volume reports on outcomes of the conference in three major sections.
Part 1 provides an archaeological overview of the processes of replacement/assimilation
of Neanderthals by modern humans. Part 2 consists of archaeological and ethnographic
case studies exploring evidence of learning behaviours in prehistoric and modern hunter-gatherer
societies. Part 3 presents a collection of papers that directly contributes to the
definition, validation and testing of the learning hypothesis in terms of population
biology and evolutionary theory. A total of 18 papers in this volume make available
to readers unique cultural perspectives on mechanisms of the replacement/assimilation
of Neanderthals by modern humans and suggested relationships between these mechanisms
and different learning strategies"--Back cover ; "[Second] volume is the second of
two volumes of proceedings from the International Conference on the Replacement of
Neanderthals by Modern Humans, which took place in Tokyo in November 2012. This second
volume reports, in four major sections, findings by cultural anthropologists, physical
anthropologists, engineering scientists and neurophysiologists, integrated in multidisciplinary
fashion to solidify the overall understanding of the mechanics of replacement from
cognitive and physical perspectives. Part 1 provides examinations of replacement related
questions from various perspectives in cognition and psychology. Part 2, consisting
of studies rooted in body science and genetics, provides detailed findings which fill
in the broader frame of the replacement phenomenon. Part 3 presents a collection of
papers whose findings about fossil crania and brain morphology shed direct light on
immediate questions regarding replacement. Part 4 provides illuminations similar to
those in part 3, but arising from the analytical empowerment afforded by neuroscience.
The collection of 26 papers in this volume makes available to readers both broad and
narrow insights on the mechanisms of the replacement/assimilation of Neanderthals
by modern humans and at the same time provides a model of new-paradigm multidisciplinary
collaboration on a complex problem"--Back cover
