The Origin of Human Social Institutions Hardback
Edited by W. G. (, Senior Research Fellow, Trinity College; Fellow of the British Academy) Runciman
Part of the Proceedings of the British Academy series
Hardback
Description
These papers bring an interdisciplinary approach to bear on what is arguably the central question in the study of human social evolution: how did the simple hunting and foraging bands of the Upper Palaeolithic evolve into the institutionally complex societies of the so-called Neolithic Revolution?
The contributors to this volume are leading experts from the fields of archaeology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and game theory, all of whom share a common evolutionary perspective.
The ideas presented here form a major addition to the widespread current interest in evolutionary theory as applied to human behaviour.
