| Description: |
If evolution has changed humans physically, has it also affected human behaviour? Drawing on evolutionary psychology, sociobiology, and human behavioural ecology, Human Nature and the Evolution of Society explores the evolutionary dynamics underlying social life.In this introduction to human behaviour and the organization of social life, Stephen K. Sanderson discusses traditional subjects like mating behaviour, kinship, parenthood, status-seeking, and violence, as well as important topics seldom included in books of this type, especially gender, economies, politics, foodways, race and ethnicity, and the arts. Examples and research on a wide range of human societies, both industrial and nonindustrial, are integrated throughout. With chapter summaries of key points, thoughtful discussion questions, and important terms defined within the text, the result is a broad-ranging and comprehensive consideration of human society, thoroughly grounded in an evolutionary perspective. |
