On the Origin of Societies by Natural Selection
ISBN: 9781594515163 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kinship, religion, and economy were not "natural" to humans, nor to species of apes that had to survive on the African savanna.

The ape in us was not extinguished, nor obviated, by culture; indeed, our ancestry continues to place pressures on individuals and their sociocultural creations. Not just an exercise in history, this pathbreaking book dispels many myths about the...

England in the early part of the twentieth century was rich in utopian ventures - diverse and intriguing in their scope and aims.

Dennis Hardy explores this fascinating history of utopian ideals, the lives of those who pursued them, and the utopian communities they created. Some communities were fired by a long tradition of land movements, others by thoughts of more...
