What were the driving factors in the development of new technologies? What caused the stasis in stone tool technological innovation in the Early Pleistocene? Were there specific regions and episodes of enhanced technological development, or did it occur at a steady pace where ancestral humans lived? This title addresses these questions.

Addresses the science of fossil insects by demonstrating their contribution to our knowledge of the paleoenvironmental and climatological record of the past 2.6 million years. This survey also reviews the fossil insect record from Quaternary deposits throughout the world, and points to rewarding areas for future research.
