PDF-(BOOK)-The Evolution of Human Societies: From Foraging Group to Agrarian State, Second

By combining an original thesis and a representative body of ethnographic data this ambitious work seeks to describe and explain the growth in complexity of human societiesIts emphasis is on the causes mechanisms and patterns of cultural evolution which the authors explain in terms of a coherent theory of political economydefined as the mobilization and exchange of goods and services between families The authors show that the interconnected processes of technological change and population growth are the motor of social change resulting in three related processesintensification integration and stratificationthat transform human societies over time The validity of their theory rests on evidence drawn from 19 case studies that range widely over time and spaceFor this new edition the authors have thoroughly rewritten the theoretical argument for greater clarity updated the case materials to incorporate new research and added a new chapter that applies their theoretical perspective to the problems of change since the industrial revolution and the globalization of trade and political influenceReviews of the First EditionIn a book full of perceptive observations and persuasive arguments Johnson and Earle show in masterly detail how societies articulate to their environments and how they evolveEthnohistoryA major contribution The book is a marvelous synthesis of ethnographic and historical dataAmerican Journal of SociologyA large amount of research and thought has produced sensible and illuminating specific analyses of the mechanisms of evolutionary change Another plus is that the writing is clear and the argument is neatly conceivedAmerican Anthropologist.

Hace trece mil anos la evolucion de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzo a tomar rumbos diferentes. La domesticacion de los animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en China, Mesoamerica y otras zonas geograficas otorgaron una ventaja inicial a los habitantes de esas regiones.Sin embargo, los origenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganaderia son solo parte de la explicacion de los diferentes destinos de los pueblos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con mas posibilidades para desarrollar la escritura, la tecnologia o las estructuras politicas ademas de sobrevivir a germenes nocivos y crear poderosas armas belicas.En este libro, el profesor Jared Diamond demuestra que la diversidad cultural hunde sus raices en las diferencias geograficas, ecologicas y territoriales ligadas a cada caso concreto, y analiza como evoluciono la humanidad y por que unos pueblos avanzaron hacia la civilizacion mientras que otros se quedaron estancados.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history.Bill GatesIn this artful, informative, and delightful (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history.

In a Pulitzer Prize-winning book, the author dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors he feels are responsible for history\'s broadest patterns.
