Course Goal / Objective

Attempting to understand from material remains human intellectual and physical evolution in prehistoric periods and their resulting cultural development, from the perspective of technology.

Course Content

It is irrefutable that the longest stage of this process, up to the invention of writing, encompassed the foundations of all of today's advanced technologies. This course will consider and teach, in the framework of the process of prehistoric transformations, people and their products, and the technological developments of their production, in parallel with their physical, mental and psychological evolution.
