Recent years have seen a growing impetus to explain social life
almost exclusively in biological and mechanistic terms, and to
dismiss cultural meaning and difference. Daily we read assertions
that everything from disease to morality-not to mention the
presumed characteristics of race, gender, and sexuality-can be
explained by reference primarily to genetics and our evolutionary
past.
"Complexities" mobilizes experts from several fields of
anthropology--cultural, archaeological, linguistic, and
biological--to offer a compelling challenge to the resurgence of
reductive theories of human biological and social life. This book
presents evidence to contest such theories and to provide a
multifaceted account of the complexity and variability of the human
condition. Charting a course that moves beyond any simple
opposition between nature and nurture, "Complexities" argues that a
nonreductive perspective has important implications for how we
understand and foster human potential.
