The great riddle?of archaeology, cognitive science, neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, political science, linguistics, religious studies, and the humanities from literature and music to dance and art?is how we became human, how we acquired modern minds. Human beings with mental architecture like ours came into existence only yesterday, evolutionarily speaking?perhaps fifty thousand years ag…
