Description:	The present volume, and the symposia which gave rise to it, focus on what is rapidly emerging as one of the most important issues in human development - namely, the pattern of changes in human behavior and associated cognition which immediately preceded the emergence of fully “modern” communities in different areas of the world. Exactly how we define “modern” communities is of course an interesting issue in its own right, but I imagine that most of the contributors to the volume would take this to mean the communities that were established over most areas of the Old World by at least 30,000 BP, and whose behavior as reflected in the archaeological records shows generally close resemblances to that reflected in the material culture of recent hunting and gathering populations.
