| Course contents :
| Hominid remains are presented in their relation to general human evolution: anatomy and culture. Processes of convergence are especially clear here, in technological and mythological development, in comparison with the rest of the Old World. In particular, the origin of an autonomous agriculture forms one of the distinct characteristics of Far-Eastern prehistory. The mythology of hunter-gatherers still influences historical religious thought. | |
