Ready or not, here's Thanksgiving break

I got side tracked by all the additional analyses I have had to do this last week just to get caught back up to where I was. I got comments back from John on ch. 6 at least, so I can start working on that. This week will be tough to get a lot done because it's Thanksgiving, so I'm being more realistic with the number of goals to work toward.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: Evolutionary Cognitive Archaeology: A History (done)
Chapter 3: The Evolution of Working Memory (in progress)
Chapter 4: The Contributions of Neuroarchaeology to Human Language Origin Theories (done)
Chapter 5: Materials and Methods (done)
Chapter 6: Functional Neuroimaging of Early Stone Age Toolmaking Reveals an Executive Function Network (In Progress)
Chapter 7: Discussion of ch. 6 results (done)
Chapter 8: Results of language exaptation hypothesis study
Chapter 9: Discussion of ch. 8 results
Chapter 10: Results of longitudinal motor learning study
Chapter 11: Discussion of ch. 10 results
Chapter 12: General discussion and conclusion
