Social Anthropology And Human Origins - Alan Barnard
ll4.me Social Anthropology And Human Origins - Alan Barnard The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating branches of anthropology. Yet it has rarely been considered by social or cultural anthropologists, who represent the largest subfield of the discipline. In this powerful study Alan Barnard aims to bridge this gap. Barnard argues that social anthropological theory has much to contribute to our understanding of human evolution, including changes in technology, subsistence and exchange, family and kinship, as well as to the study of language, art, ritual and belief. This book places social anthropology in the context of a widely-conceived constellation of anthropological sciences. It incorporates recent findings in many fields, including primate studies, archaeology, linguistics and human genetics. In clear, accessible style Barnard addresses the fundamental questions surrounding the evolution of human society and the prehistory of culture, suggesting a new direction for social anthropology that will open up debate across the discipline as a whole.Author: Barnard, Alan Publisher: Cambridge University Press Illustration: N Language: ENG Title: Social Anthropology and Human Origins Pages: 00196 (Encrypted PDF) On Sale: 2011-03-17 SKU-13/ISBN: 9780521765312 Category: Social Science : Anthropology - Cultural Category: Social Science : Sociology - General Category: Science : Life Sciences - Evolution The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating ...From:andrewcolon986Views:0 0ratingsTime:00:14More inPeople Blogs
