Description

Explore the complex history of human development with Macroevolution in Human Prehistory: Evolutionary Theory and Processual Archaeology from Springer. This volume examines how cultural evolution follows patterns similar to general evolution, where modern cultures descend from earlier ancestors. Through a detailed study of the archaeological record, this book tracks the movement of human societies from small hunter bands and complex hunter-gatherer groups to farming communities. It also covers the rise of high-density urban settlements and the complex polities that define the modern world. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the dynamic interaction between micro-scale and macro-scale cultural evolution. By developing the theoretical approach known as evolutionary processual archaeology, this work provides a framework for understanding how human social structures and cultures have changed over vast periods of time.
