      The World Archaeological Congress meetings in Southampton in September 1986 included a series of sessions on the problems of Pleistocene archaeology. The chapters in this book derive from some of those discussions. In particular, this volume focuses on the problems facing prehistorians and palaeoanthropologists when trying to understand the long-term evolution of human behaviour and the patterns observable in the fossil and archaeological record of a period of time stretching over several million years. It aims to illustrate the diversity of approaches and concepts that are required to investigate the evolution of the characteristics of human behaviour - technology, language, symbol use, cultural traditions, social relationships, hunting, gathering and food production. The approaches presented range from comparisons with non-human primates to the use of ethnographic data and computer simulations, as well as demographic, psychological and evolutionary models.
