Beskrivning
By employing a cognitive semiotic theory based on pragmatism and enactivism, this book explores the nature and emergence of early body ornamentation, which has long been at the forefront of the debate on modern human origins.Using artifacts such as ocher pigments and the Blombos Cave shell beads, the book examines the connection between early body ornaments and the semiotic mind, and addresses the question of whether early body ornaments were made by a symbolic mind, or whether they provided the material and semiotic scaffolding required for such a mind to emerge.

How did Mark Making and Meaning morph into Signs, Symbols and Syntax through Shells-- the S and M of the semiotic emergence of modern human cognition? Iliopoulos, in highly persuasive argument, shows how the semiotics of archaeological ornaments allowed complex processes, not states, to transform material signs of meaning.
