The Prehistory of the Mind: A Search for the Origins of Art, Religion and Science
Steven Mithen
The Prehistory of the Mind is set to join the canon of essential texts and is also an excellent read - Colin Tudge, Independent

How do our minds work? When did language and religious beliefs first emerge? Why was there a cultural explosion of art and creativity with the arrival of modern humans? This ground-breaking book brings the insight of archaeology to our understanding of the development and history of the human mind, combining them with ideas from evolutionary psychology in a brilliant and provocative synthesis.

Readers will be entertained and provoked by Mithen's insightful synthesis of so many aspects of our evolution. It is a wonderful start to a new and productive way of thinking - Roger Lewin, New Scientist

A truly pioneering work - Colin Renfrew

Daring and original... it's a fine idea and a fine book - Jerry Fodor, London Review of Books
