The Neolithic Revolution has been heralded as the most significant sociocognitive change in human history, yet it is all but ignored by psychology. This gives rise to a reconsideration of the question "Where should the history of psychology begin?" Using the Neolithic archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe as a concrete case study, the advent of writing, organized religion, and our transition from being egalitarian bands of hunter-gatherers to socially stratified and specialized builders of "civilization" all stand as salient, but prehistoric, psychological topics. Such matters seem clearly crucial to understanding the full story of psychology, but nevertheless this vital segment of prehistory manages to be passed over by even evolutionary psychologists as well as historians of our discipline. How this problem is best addressed remains an open question. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

关于史前心理学：应戈贝克利·特佩的邀请进行反思。

新石器时代的革命被誉为人类历史上最重大的社会认知变化，但它却被心理学几乎忽略了。这引起了对“心理学史应该从哪里开始？”这一问题的重新考虑。以戈贝克利·特佩（GöbekliTepe）的新石器时代考古遗址为具体案例，写作，有组织的宗教的到来以及我们从成为狩猎采集者的均等主义团体向社会分层，专门化的“文明”建设者的过渡都固然重要，但史前，心理话题。这些事情显然对于理解心理学的全貌至关重要，但是尽管如此，史前的这一重要部分还是被进化心理学家和我们学科的历史学家所遗忘。如何最好地解决这个问题仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
