For forty years, in a variety of books and articles, Gerhard Lenski
has become the most influential proponent of ecological and
evolutionary explanations of human societies, their development and
transformations, from the Stone Age to the present. In his newest
book, Lenski offers a succinct but comprehensive statement of the
full body of his theory followed by demonstration of how it can be
used to generate new and valuable insights when applied to a set of
highly diverse issues. These include debates concerning the origin
of ancient Israel and its distinctive culture, the rise of the West
in the modern era, the highly varied trajectories of development of
Third World nations in recent decades, and the failure of Marxist
efforts to transform society in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. In
the concluding chapter, Lenski discusses a number of other issues
and areas where ecological-evolutionary theory may be fruitfully
applied in the future.
