Humanity today functions as a gigantic, world-encompassing system.
Renowned world historian, Patrick Manning traces how this human
system evolved from Homo Sapiens' beginnings over 200,000 years ago
right up to the present day. He focuses on three great shifts in
the scale of social organization - the rise of syntactical
language, of agricultural society, and today's newly global social
discourse - and links processes of social evolution to the dynamics
of biological and cultural evolution. Throughout each of these
shifts, migration and social diversity have been central, and
social institutions have existed in a delicate balance, serving not
just their own members but undergoing regulation from society.
Integrating approaches from world history, environmental studies,
biological and cultural evolution, social anthropology, sociology,
and evolutionary linguistics, Patrick Manning offers an
unprecedented account of the evolution of humans and our complex
social system and explores the crises facing that human system
today.
