Description

We will read and discuss the important new book: Human Social Evolution: The Foundational Works of Richard D. Alexancer. Topics include Cooperation, Intergroup Competition, Parent-offspring conflict, Biology/Culture interface, Kinship, Indirect Reciprocity, Intelligence, Morality, Humor, Religion, and the Arts. We will also read and discuss Napolean Chagnon’s: Noble Savages: My life Among Two Dangerous Tribes, which is about his fieldwork among the Yanomamö and pairs very well with the Alexander book.
