The evolution of the human species has always been closely tied to
the relationship between biology and culture, and the human
condition is rooted in this fascinating intersection. Sport, games,
and competition serve as a nexus for humanity's innate fixation on
movement and social activity, and these activities have served
throughout history to encourage the proliferation of human culture
for any number of exclusive or inclusive motivations: money, fame,
health, spirituality, or social and cultural solidarity. The study
of anthropology, as presented in Anthropology of Sport and Human
Movement, provides a scope that offers a critical and discerning
perspective on the complex calculus involving human biological and
cultural variation that produces human movement and performance.
Each chapter of this compelling collection resonates with the theme
of a tightly woven relationship of biology and culture, of
evolutionary implications and contemporary biological and cultural
expression.
