About This Item
395-412 pages with references cited. Quarto (11" x 8 1/4") bound in original publisher's stapled wrappers. current Anthropology Volume 10, Number 4. First edition. The author argued that a number of recent writings based on primate studies and on analysis of early hominid evolution have blurred certain central issues regarding human and non-human primate behavior. The central problem of how man organizes his experience and how he interacts with his environment is seldom squarely faced. A framework is provided here which examines tool-making and language come out of the same cognitive structure. The framework attempts to provide means by which the appearance of emergent human behavior may be gauged from fossil record. Two attributes, arbitrary form and imposition, are defined. It is argued that these two dimensions are specific to the human psychological structure, and that stone tools made to any standardize for satisfy the requirements of emergence in cognitive structure. Tool-making is analyzed using models for language behavior, and strong parallels are shown with certain design features that are specific to human communication. Tools are then viewed from the perspective of social psychological frameworks relating to the acquisition of norms of reference, perception and passage of objects from an unstructured to structured condition. This analysis suggest that arbitrary symbols played a major part in the development of social controls adaptive for early hominids utilizing strategies of division of labor, since symbols produce invariant relationships that can be define outside of strictly biological relationships.
