冰川时代的人类日常:一项关于我们祖先的新研究

Rate this book
本书聚焦于约4万~1.2万年前欧洲旧石器时代晚期的人类生活,时间跨度覆盖了约1200代男男女女,比公元元年至今人类代际数目的15倍还多。

书中探究这些远古祖先如何应对冰河时期剧烈的气候与环境变化,内容涵盖多个维度,如他们的外貌体态、健康状况、营地选择、居所结构、生活设施、饮食资源、生存手段、劳动分工、武器制作、手工技艺、雕刻绘画、人际交往等等,可谓首部全面、客观且真实地呈现末次冰川时期人类生活的著作。

书中打破了诸多关于冰川时代人类的误解,且突破了该领域研究的局限,不再停留于对工具类型的整理,而更注重阐释工具的用途。作者凭借其社会心理学的学术背景,对冰川时代的群体生活、女性生育、儿童养育、老弱照护等此前极少被涉及的话题也进行了深入讨论。

Nature's short review, 2/4/23:
"Most studies of the ice age 40,000–12,000 years ago focus, unexcitingly, on cataloguing tools. In this witty, richly illustrated look at European ice-age life — the first of its kind in English — social psychologist Elle Clifford and archaeologist Paul Bahn try to decipher tool use. Inevitably, swathes are speculative. Fewer than 200 human skeletons and fragments from the time survive; to supplement archaeological evidence, the authors use data from hunter-gatherers and knowledge of basic human behaviour, animals and plants."

Sounds intriguing. Published July 28, 2022.
