metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Our focus is the type of responses the population of the taiga zone of the Urals and Western
  Siberia gave to cognitive challenges, as well as dynamics and rhythms of information breakthroughs
  of the Stone-Early Iron Age. The existence of multi-directional migration corridors
  indicated formation of an extremely diverse anthropological, linguistic and cultural composition
  of the taiga pioneer population, thus creating natural communication barriers in the context
  of severe inter-group competition for resources. Against this background, in the Neolithic
  (7th–5th millenniums BC), a practice of building fortified settlements, hill-forts, and “sacrificial
  hills” became widespread — and that was not typical of hunters and fishermen. Erection of
  those complex and labor-consuming structures required mobilization of a significant number
  of people, as well as resources and expertise, and contributed to group consolidation in a new
  territory. It was that type of dramatic disruption that occurred at the turn of the 3rd and 2nd
  millenniums BC. Considerable changes in the way of life of the taiga population came as a
  direct result of the “metallurgical revolution”. The development of independent metallurgical
  centers in the Middle Urals traditional ideas about the inability of the population of the
  appropriating lifestyle to adopt transformative strategies. The northernmost regions became
  another watershed in the region. The turn of the Eras was marked by development in reindeer
  herding, which was accompanied by a series of discoveries in the fields of food production,
  transport development, communications, trade, and symbolic activities. Archaeological data
  directly indicate the formation of adequate responses and information breakthroughs to the
  cognitive challenges of the high latitudes of Eurasia, and explain the variety of forms of socio-
  ideological adaptations and evolutionary alternatives.
