This book attempts a broad theoretical synthesis within the field
of sociology and its closely allied sister discipline of
anthropology. It draws together what the author considers the best
of these disciplinesO theoretical approaches into a synthesized
theory called Darwinian conflict theory. This theory, in the most
general sense, is a synthesis of the tradition of economic and
ecological materialism and conflict theory stemming from Marx,
Marvin Harris, and the tradition of biological materialism deriving
from Darwin. The first half of the book is taken up with critiques
of existing theoretical approaches; this then leads to the full
elaboration, in formal propositional form, of synthetic theory. The
second half of the book lays out the large amount of evidence, both
qualitative and quantitative, that supports the synthesized theory.
