Exploring the Mind of Ancient Man

 
Peddarapu Chenna Reddy (Author)
Synopsis This book offers a major collection of invited papers assembled for the specific occasion of the 60th birthday of Australian researcher Robert G. Bednarik. Its widely ranging topics reflect the equally wide-ranging interests of this most productive scholar, but they are all somehow arranged around his primary focus: the mind of ancient man, how he came to be human, and what kinds of scientific methodology might be brought to bear on the ambitious task of exploring these subjects. A large number of Indian and international scholars, representing most continents, address the broad spectrum of Bednarik’s interests, and acquaint the reader with many of the specific problems and issues surrounding questions of the origins of culture, of human realities and the evolution of human cognition. One of the most distinctive common threads in this volume is its preoccupation with prehistoric rock art, reflected in the majority of the contributions, which also reflect the emphasis of Bednarik’s continuing life work.
