Genes, Memes and Human History:Darwinian Archaeology and Cultural by Stephen Shennan

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
