What separates modern humans from our primate cousins--are we a
mere blink in the march of evolution, or does human culture
represent the definitive evolutionary turn? Dwight Read explores
the dilemma in this engaging, thought-provoking book, taking
readers through an evolutionary odyssey from our primate beginnings
through the development of culture and social organization. He
assesses the two major trends in this field: one that sees us as a
logical culmination of primate evolution, arguing that the
rudiments of culture exist in primates and even magpies, and
another that views the human transition as so radical that the
primate model provides no foundation for understanding human
dynamics. Expertly synthesizing a wide body of evidence from the
anthropological and life sciences in accessible prose, Read's book
will interest a broad readership from experts to undergraduate
students and the general public.
