Twelve contributions elucidate some of the salient points and the rich potential in taking a Darwinian approach to archaeological problems. They are grouped in sections on cultural and behavioral selection, individuals and dual inheritance, and cognition and the evolution of mental adaptations. A sampling of topics: the change from biface to flake technology, multiple code structures in the replication of human culture, weak modularity and the evolution of human social behavior, and the origin of art.
