Kritik
From the reviews:

" The book by Philip Chase is a very original, thought-stimulating....and thanks to the authors's ability to explain complex subjects in simple words, his work may be interesting and useful reading not only for specialists...but also for everybody interested in general problems of human cultural and biological prehistory....this is a very important contributrion to the study of human culture, that deserves to be read by everybody who considers her(him)self an anthropologist."

PaleoAnthropology, 2006: 95-97

"This is a ... provocative volume about a very big topic - how humans are fundamentally unique in the way culture is generated and how the evolution of this adaptation occured. ... Chase provides readers with a thorough exposition of a view of culture that then serves as the basis for an evaluation of the development of human thought and action. ... This book will generate much stimulating discussion in advanced anthropology seminars." (Lynne A. Schepartz, Cambridge Archaeological Journal, Vol. 17 (1), 2007)mehr
