Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a unified approach to a fundamental sociological problem: how societies evolve. The author argues that social evolution results not from a single factor but from a complex web of interacting factors, including the geographical and racial backgrounds of a people, economic material conditions, intertribal contact, the utilization of tools and external sources of power, the development of thought, cooperation and the division of labor, the improvement of communication, social organisation, and much more. The author draws from a wide range of examples, from both primitive and advanced cultures, to illustrate how changes in one facet of society can lead to cascading effects throughout its entire structure. Through these examples, the author deftly demonstrates that social change is often more than the sum of its parts. Social Evolution offers a comprehensive analysis of one of society's most enduring questions.
