Groups

Groups: The Evolution of Human Sociality, Volume 1, provides a rigorous examination of the foundations of human social structures. This social sciences text stems from a collaborative research project involving experts in primate sociology, ecological anthropology, and socio-cultural anthropology. By analyzing non-human primates for comparative purposes, the authors investigate the evolutionary historical roots of sociality. The work moves beyond traditional methods of reconstructing early human ecology to instead re-identify how social entities are created and evolved.

In Groups: The Evolution of Human Sociality, Volume 1, specialists engage in a multidisciplinary debate that challenges prevailing theories within socio-cultural anthropology. The contributors examine the shape and variations of groups as sympatric entities, often extending their analysis beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. This scholarly volume offers a profound look at the complex biological and cultural drivers that shape modern human society through the lens of evolutionary history.
