Description
Human Adaptation by Howard Morphy and G. A. Harrison is an in-depth exploration of the concept of adaptation across four major fields in the human sciences. The book examines genetic aspects, physiological changes, social behaviour, and their relevance to the social sciences and social anthropology. It delves into the effects of environmental changes on individuals and explores the application of kin selection and reciprocal attraction theories to humans. This reprinted edition features a new foreword and serves as an excellent teaching text, providing a clear understanding of how adaptation can benefit the study of human evolution, social structure, and organization from various perspectives.
