Beschreibungen

<span>Cultural Anthropology: Tribes, States, and the Global System, Seventh Edition</span>
<span>, provides balanced coverage of three dramatically different cultural worlds by focusing on problems of social inequality, human well-being, social justice, and sustainability. Author John Bodley challenges students to consider “big questions” about the nature of cultural systems: How are cultures structured to satisfy basic human needs? What is it like to be human under different cultural conditions? Are DNA, language, and environment determinants of culture? Are materialist explanations more useful than ideological ones? What are the major turning points in human history? Scale and power remains the primary theoretical framework, but cultural evolutionary perspectives have been expanded. </span>

<br>
<br>
<span>NEW TO THIS EDITION</span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Two</span>
<span> now includes a new section discussing evolutionary cultural anthropology, a new box that updates the archaeological, biological anthropology, and genetic material on anatomically modern humans, and a discussion of the connection between evolutionary anthropology and the moral domains and values that support social cooperation. </span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Six</span>
<span> has new sections on soul beliefs and shamanism, wealth and well-being, and findings from the long-running Tsimane health project in the Bolivian Amazon. The section on the “mental abilities of tribal peoples” is revised to read “cognitive abilities” and a new discussion of working memory as a defining feature of fully modern humans is included.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Seven</span>
<span> includes a new box presenting some of the latest genetic, linguistic, and paleoclimate findings related to the colonization of the Pacific. </span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Ten</span>
<span> adds a new section on demographic-structural and cultural evolutionary theory on the rise and fall of politically centralized societies using the Seshat Global History Databank. </span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Thirteen</span>
<span> adds a new section “A Cascade of Unsustainability Warnings” on the very alarming back to back IPCC special report on the dangers of global warming exceeding 1.5</span>
<span><sup>o</sup></span>
<span>C, published in fall 2018, and the spring 2019 IPBES Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.</span>
<br>
<br>
<span>Chapter Fourteen</span>
<span> adds two new sections, the first questioning whether capitalism itself can be sustainable, the second considering the alternatives for adapting to climate change.</span>
