Genes, Memes and Human History:Darwinian Archaeology and Cultural by Stephen Shennan
What is the history of human populations? How are cultural traditions maintained and changed over time? What led to the emergence of marked social inequalities? These and other questions are addressed and answered in this text, an application of neo-Darwinian evolutionary ideas to the human past.
'Fresh and surprising.. a fascinating book' - Matt Ridley, bestselling author of Genome: The Autobiography of a Species and The Red Queen 'A brilliant book which radically reshapes much current thinking about the processes of culture change' - Colin Renfrew, University of Cambridge
Stephen Shennan is Professor of Theoretical Archaeology and Director of the AHRB Centre for the Evolutionary Analysis of Culture at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.
