Making Culture, Becoming Human

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kinship and Human Evolution offers an exciting new explanation of how Homo became sapiens or "cultured" beings capable of symbolic thought. This book argues that the key to understanding human evolution and culture lies in kinship-based exchange networks, which were part of an adaptive response to the harsh environment during the last ice age.
