The goal of this book is to present the reader with state of the art knowledge regarding a period in prehistory when, in the wider Eurasian context, the Anatomically Modern Humans replaced the Neanderthals. This event is particularly monitored in the territory of Moravia, which is known for its high density of archaeological sites from this period, as well as for its systematic research of these sites. It was also necessary to consider the record from the surrounding regions and place the Paleolithic record in the context of the fast evolving research concerning global climatic trends. Information that has accumulated over several generations of Moravian Paleolithic research resulting in a large body of research results published in a variety of local periodicals and books is reviewed and presented in this book. A hypothetical cultural evolutionary model based on state of the art knowledge is also presented.
