Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Most English-reading archaeologists know that Eastern European prehistory can illuminate cultural evolution over tens of thousands of years.... Now, for the first time, they have a readily available, highly readable, authoritative, and comprehensive source to inform both themselves and their students. - from the Foreword by Richard G. Klein

Reseña del editor:

The book is divided into seven chapters. The first discusses general anthropological principles and theories pertaining to human adaptation and development in cold environments. The second outlines the environmental conditions of the specific area under study in the book.

The next two chapters focus on Neanderthal finds in the area. The following two chapters discuss the replacement of the local Neanderthal population by the Cro-magnons, and the development of their way of life in the cold Loess Steppe environment. The final chapter summarizes the discussion and is followed by an extremely valuable and extensive bibliography, more than half of which consists of non-English (primarily Russian) sources.
