Professor Steven Mithen's research interests cover from the origin of Homo c.2 million years ago to the invention and spread of agriculture up to 5000 BC. His projects fall into three areas: Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene hunter-gatherers and early farmers, the evolution of the human mind, and computational archaeology. He has directed fieldwork in Western Scotland and is currently co-directing excavations in Wadi Faynan, southern Jordan. His authored books include The Prehistory of the Mind (1996) and After the Ice (2003), and he has edited volumes on Human Creativity (1998) and Hunter-Gatherer Landscape Archaeology (2001). Steves latest publication is The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind and Body.
