- catalog abstract ""A dramatic revision of human evolutionary history and the forces that have shaped the cultural foundations of modern humanity has been made in a series of spectacular advances since the 1960s. The study of living primates, archaeology, anthropology, genetics, palaeontology and hunter-gatherer societies have all contributed to a significant breakthrough in the understanding of human origins and our unique behavioural adaptations. They have also provided us with a better understanding of such issues as animal societies, culture, sex, race, violence, gender relations and the environment." "Society in Prehistory integrates findings from previously isolated areas of scholarship and relates these insights to the concerns of the social sciences. Emphasising that human evolution and human status are only intelligible through an interaction of biological and social factors, the book argues that, while social behaviour is biologically grounded, it is not biologically determined, and that culture is a significant formative agent in the evolutionary emergence of modern humans."--Jacket.".
