About
My primary research interest is and always has been advancing knowledge of how hominids became human. Modern humans exploded out of Africa between about 40 and 50 kyr ago. There is abundant evidence of recognizably human behaviour from that time across Europe, Asia and Australia. Signature modern human behaviour has not been documented unequivocally for the Neanderthals and their contemporaries, the skeletally modern members of the genus Homo. Instead, in the Middle Palaeolithic we see lithic technology organized around flakes obtained through bifacial reduction, some platform preparation, and retouch; no unequivocal use of bone other than as an analogue for stone; no evidence of space use that could be recognized as human; no unequivocal evidence of purposeful burial.
Since early October 2011 I've been the primary contributor of content to thesubversivearchaeologist.blogspot.com, in hope of providing a much-needed check on mythopoeic archaeological inference, but also on occasion commenting on the important discoveries of the day.
