Book description

The study of human origins is one of the most fascinating branches of anthropology. Yet it has rarely been considered by social or cultural anthropologists, who represent the largest subfield of the discipline. In this powerful study Alan Barnard aims to bridge this gap. Barnard argues that social anthropological theory has much to contribute to our understanding of human evolution, including changes in technology, subsistence and exchange, family and kinship, as well as to the study of language, art, ritual and belief. This book places social anthropology in the context of a widely-conceived constellation of anthropological sciences. It incorporates recent findings in many fields, including primate studies, archaeology, linguistics and human genetics. In clear, accessible style Barnard addresses the fundamental questions surrounding the evolution of human society and the prehistory of culture, suggesting a new direction for social anthropology that will open up debate across the discipline as a whole.

Reviews

‘This is a seminal attempt to bring social and evolutionary anthropology back into the same frame, to allow social anthropology once again to make a serious contribution to accounts of human origins.'

Robin Dunbar - University of Oxford

'Barnard’s Social Anthropology and Human Origins is a timely, welcome call for the introduction of socio-cultural anthropology to the study of human evolution.'

Benjamin Grant Purzycki Source: Anthropos

'… a well-informed and considered treatment of the social issues of concern … This is a stimulating book, and it should be read and taken seriously by anyone who works on human origins … Barnard provides good justification that social anthropology could be very powerful in understanding human evolution at its grandest scale.'
