Examines the history of evolutionism in cultural anthropology, beginning with its roots in the 19th century, through the half-century of anti-evolutionism, to its reemergence in the 1950s, and the current perspectives on it today. No other book covers the subject so fully or over such a long period of time.. Evolutionism and Cultural Anthropology traces the interaction of evolutionary thought and anthropological theory from Herbert Spencer to the twenty-first century. It is a focused examination of how the idea of evolution has continued to provide anthropology with a master principle around which a vast body of data can be organized and synthesized. Erudite and readable, and quoting extensively from early theorists (such as Edward Tylor, Lewis Henry Morgan, John McLennan, Henry Maine, and James Frazer) so that the reader might judge them on the basis of their own words, Evolutionism and Cultural Anthropology is useful reading for courses in anthropological theory and the history of anthropology. 0813337666 Evolutionism in Cultural Anthropology : a Critical History

A famed political scientist's classic argument for a more cooperative world We assume that, in a world ruled by natural selection, selfishness pays. So why cooperate? In The Evolution of Cooperation, political scientist Robert Axelrod seeks to answer this question. In 1980, he organized the famed Computer Prisoners Dilemma Tournament, which sought to find the optimal strategy for survival in a particular game. Over and over, the simplest strategy, a cooperative program called Tit for Tat, shut out the competition. In other words, cooperation, not unfettered competition, turns out to be our best chance for survival. A vital book for leaders and decision makers, The Evolution of Cooperation reveals how cooperative principles help us think better about everything from military strategy, to political elections, to family dynamics.

The modern world accepts economy as the base of society and the rest as "superstructure." This understanding of society leads to the substantial growth of wealth, but also to emerging of global problems, the polarisation of society, instability, nuclear threat moral degradation often referred as the decline of Western civilisation. The best way to resolve these problems is to see society from the different point of view. The New Paradigm of Social Evolution considers society as information and self-organising (living and reasonable) system that generates and transmits knowledge or metaphorically speaking as a "living organism." Hence, ideas and innovations move the world, and the economy is only a part of this process together with two other equally important subsystems of society - culture and form of governance. Changing standpoint for driving force from economy to knowledge represents a completely different picture of society as an interpretation of history, ongoing social processes and future organisation. This book is an attempt to describe and explain the new model of social development.
