Visuospatial integration concerns the ability to coordinate the inner and outer environments, namely the central nervous system and the outer spatial elements, through the interface of the body. This integration is essential for every basic human activity, from locomotion and grasping to speech or tooling. Visuospatial integration is even more fundamental when dealing with theories on extended mind, embodiment, and material engagement. According to the hypotheses on extended cognition, the nervous system, the body and the external objects work as a single integrated unit, and what we call "mind" is the process resulting from such interaction. Because of the relevance of culture and material culture in humans, important changes in such processes were probably crucial for the evolution of Homo sapiens. Much information in this sense can be supplied by considering issues in neuroarchaeology and cognitive sciences. Nonetheless, fossils and their anatomy can also provide evidence according to changes involving physical and body aspects. In this article, we review three sources of morphological information concerning visuospatial management and fossils: evolutionary neuroanatomy, manipulative behaviors, and hand evolution.

视觉空间整合与人类进化：化石证据。

视觉空间整合涉及通过人体界面协调内部和外部环境（即中枢神经系统和外部空间元素）的能力。这种集成对于从移动和抓握到语音或工具的每一项基本人类活动都是必不可少的。当处理有关扩展思维，体现力和物质参与的理论时，视觉空间整合甚至更为基础。根据关于扩展认知的假设，神经系统，身体和外部物体是一个单一的整体单元，我们所谓的“思想”就是这种相互作用所产生的过程。由于人类文化和物质文化的相关性，因此这些过程中的重要变化可能对于智人的进化至关重要。通过考虑神经考古学和认知科学方面的问题，可以提供这种意义上的许多信息。尽管如此，化石及其解剖结构也可以根据涉及身体和身体方面的变化提供证据。在本文中，我们回顾了有关视觉空间管理和化石的形态学信息的三个来源：进化神经解剖学，操纵行为和手进化。
