Description
This volume, edited by Sol Tax, offers a sweeping survey of the scientific study of human evolution and culture. Originally published over four decades ago, it features foundational contributions by influential scholars who helped shape the trajectory of modern anthropology.
Highlights include:
• Examination of the evolutionary distinctions between humans and other primates
• Insight into the development and significance of language
• Exploration of human cultural history, societal structures, and their global variations
• Anthropological perspectives on fundamental aspects of human life: law, politics, economics, religion, medicine, and the arts
Despite increasing specialization within anthropology—be it physical, cultural, psychological, or social—this book emphasizes the unifying core of the discipline: the systematic and comparative study of human beings. A timeless resource, it captures the enduring appeal and intellectual breadth of anthropology as the science of man.
