Evolution and Social Life - Tim Ingold - Bog

This book examines how evolution has been handled in anthropology from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Almost thirty years after first publication, Ingold revisits the work and provides a substantial new preface that discusses the book¿s history and more recent developments in the field. Unique in its scope and the breadth of its theoretical vision, Evolution and Social Life cuts across the boundaries of natural science and the humanities to provide a major contribution both to the history of anthropological and social thought, and to contemporary debate on the relationship between human nature, culture, and social life.
