CARTA: Comparative Anthropogeny: From Molecules to Societies - Technology - Dietrich Stout

from CARTA - Anthropogeny (Audio) · host UCTV: UC San Diego

Technology is clearly central to human life and evolution but remains hard to define and study.

This perspective has important implications for the way we conceptualize and study the origins and evolution of human technologies.
