Neurobiología de sapiens y neandertales para su aplicación en la Arqueología Cognitiva

Abstract
Se presenta la contribución de las disciplinas biológicas y neurológicas en la elaboración de un modelo psicobiológico de aplicación al registro arqueológico, desde el enfoque cognitivo.
Los datos neurobiológicos sobre nuestra especie y el estado de la investigación sobre los neandertales, permiten elaborar un modelo sobre la “infraestructura” de la mente. La cognición emerge como el producto de la combinación de la información genética heredada (biología) y aprendida (cultura). El modelo psicobiológico comprende los niveles neurológico, psicológico y antropológico. A medida que escalamos este continuum, la frontera entre biología y cultura se difumina.
Estas líneas se centran en el polo de la información heredada, especialmente en la biología y la neurología sobre las que la cultura esculpirá la cognición.
Como conclusión, se sugiere que los neandertales habrían contado con un “potencial de maleabilidad” de su infraestructura mental menor, traducido en una cognición quizás menos fluida y un comportamiento menos flexible.
