In this book, Benoit Dubreuil explores the creation and destruction
of hierarchies in human evolution. Combining the methods of
archaeology, anthropology, cognitive neuroscience and primatology,
he offers a natural history of hierarchies from the point of view
of both cultural and biological evolution. This volume explains why
dominance hierarchies typical of primate societies disappeared in
the human lineage and why the emergence of large-scale societies
during the Neolithic period implied increased social
differentiation, the creation of status hierarchies, and,
eventually, political centralisation.
