Carneiro

No one has done as much as Robert L. Carneiro to bring cultural evolutionism from its nineteenth-century origins into the twenty-first century. These thirteen essays, ordered and balanced according to Carneiro’s own conceptual arrangement, have been carefully selected for brevity and accessibility. This volume promises to contribute to revitalizing this durable, profoundly illuminating theoretical perspective for current and future generations of students and anthropologists.
