内容説明
This book describes the emergent nature of human culture, based on the human ability to create and pass on social codes through instruction and example. It proposes hypotheses to explain how a phenomenon that is potentially maladaptive for individuals could have evolved, and to explain why culture plays such a pervasive role in human life. It then reviews the primatological, fossil, and archaeological data to test these hypotheses.
目次
How is human culture different?.- Why does culture exist?.- The origins of socially constructed coding.- The elaboration of culture.- Conclusion.
