| Description: |
Why do humans have such diverse cultures and ways of life? This book presents an original and powerful answer to this central problem of anthropology. Michael Carrithers argues that it is the ways in which people interact with each other, rather than technological advances, that have been of crucial importance in human history. In this lucid and thought-provoking book, he draws both on ancient and contemporary examples to show how this perspective forms a firm foundation for the study of culture, society, and history. |
