Evolution and Social Life

Focusing on the intersection of evolution and anthropology, the book explores how these concepts have evolved since the mid-nineteenth century. Ingold revisits his original work nearly thirty years later, adding a new preface that reflects on its historical context and recent advancements in the field. With a unique approach that bridges natural sciences and the humanities, it significantly contributes to the understanding of anthropological and social thought, as well as ongoing discussions about human nature, culture, and social dynamics.
