Proponents of the model known as the "human revolution" claim that modern human behaviors arose suddenly, and nearly simultaneously, throughout the Old World ca. [...] Key Result These features include blade and microlithic technology, bone tools, increased geographic range, specialized hunting, the use of aquatic resources, long distance trade, systematic processing and use of pigment, and art and decoration. These items do not occur suddenly together as predicted by the "human revolution" model, but at sites…Expand

The invisible frontier. A multiple species model for the origin of behavioral modernity
TLDR
A variant of this model sees behavioral modernity resulting from a rapid biological change, a brain mutation producing no apparent change in skull anatomy, which occurred in Europe or, more probably, in Africa at ca. Expand
Language as a Critical Factor in the Emergence of Human Cognition
Modern human beings are most sharply distinguished from all other organisms alive today by their possession of symbolic reasoning, the cognitive capacity that makes possible the mental construction… Expand
What happened in the origin of human consciousness?
  • I. Tattersall
  • Psychology, Medicine
  • Anatomical record. Part B, New anatomist
  • 2004
TLDR
It appears that the biological (neural) capacity underwriting the radically new behavioral mode arose as an incidental exaptation in the same process that produced the new skeletal structure of Homo sapiens, but that it lay unexpressed until it was "discovered" by means of a cultural innovation, plausibly the invention of language.

Aliens from Outer Time? Why the “Human Revolution” Is Wrong, and Where Do We Go from Here?
For the better part of the last quarter of a century, the “Human Revolution” paradigm both framed and inspired most research on modern human origins. It brought together genetic, archaeological and… Expand
The impossible coincidence. A single‐species model for the origins of modern human behavior in Europe
TLDR
The Upper Paleolithic revolution in Europe is described as reflecting preeminently an explosion in explicitly symbolic behavior and expression, which would be inconceivable in the absence of highly structured language systems and brains closely similar, if not identical to, the authors' own. Expand
Archaeological Evidence for the Emergence of Language, Symbolism, and Music–An Alternative Multidisciplinary Perspective
In recent years, there has been a tendency to correlate the origin of modern culture and language with that of anatomically modern humans. Here we discuss this correlation in the light of results… Expand
An Evolutionary Framework for the Acquisition of Symbolic Cognition by Homo sapiens
Human beings are unique in their possession of language and symbolic consciousness. Yet there is no doubt that modern Homo sapiens is descendedfrom a nonlinguistic, nonsymbolic ancestor. How might… Expand
An evolutionary context for the emergence of language
Abstract Modern human beings process information symbolically, rearranging mental symbols according to rules to envision multiple potential realities. They also express the ideas they form using… Expand
The Human Revolution and the Adaptive Function of Literature
Before the advent of purely culturalist ways of thinking in the early decades of the twentieth century, the idea of “human nature” was deeply ingrained in the literature and the humanistic social… Expand
The revolution that didn't arrive: A review of Pleistocene Sahul.
TLDR
The late Pleistocene archaeological record of Sahul is explored for indications of cultural innovations at the earliest sites and it was found that following initial occupation of the continent by anatomically and behaviourally modern humans, the components were gradually assembled over a 30,000-year period.

TLDR
It may be more appropriate to see predation, to the extent that it occurs among living peoples, as but one aspect of the authors' eclectic means of exploiting the environment, than to view systematic predation an as importantfactor in the evolution of many of the biological features that distinguish us from their primate relatives.

  • 1992
TLDR
The archaeological evidence supports the view that this transition was associated with the dispersal of new human populations into Europe, equipped with a new technology ('Aurignacian') and a range of radical behavioural and cultural innovations which collectively define the 'Middle-Upper Palaeolithic transition'.

TLDR
This issue proposes a genetic distance measure between two populations [average square distance (ASD)], which increases linearly with evolutionary time when mutation-drift balance is maintained throughout evolutionary time, and adopts a latter approach by using microsatellite DNA polymorphisms and estimate the time of the deepest split of human populations.
