Kay MartinNew York ;Oxford :Berghahn,2019.1 online resource (288 pages)1-78920-757-6 1-78920-007-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Introduction : some givens -- Perspectives on anisogamy -- First families -- Paleoecology and emergence of genus homo -- Paleolithic dinner pairings : red or white? -- Signature hominin traits -- Kinship and paleolithic legends -- Kinship as social technology -- Epilogue.What set our ancestors off on a separate evolutionary trajectory was the ability to flex their reproductive and social strategies in response to changing environmental conditions. Exploring new cross-disciplinary research that links this capacity to critical changes in the organization of the primate brain, Social DNA presents a new synthesis of ideas on human social origins – challenging models that trace our beginnings to traits shaped by ancient hunting economies, or to genetic platforms shared with contemporary apes.Social evolutionHuman evolutionBrainEvolutionKinshipadaptations.african.ancestral.ancient mankind.ancient.anisogamy.engaging.environmental conditions.ethology.evolution.evolutionary trajectory.genetic platforms.human evolution.human nature.human social origins.hunting economies.kinship family.life sciences.multidisciplinary study.network archaeology.physical anthropology.prehistory.primate brain.reproductive strategies.social dna.social origins.social science.social strategies.theoretical.Social evolution.Human evolution.BrainEvolution.Kinship.303.4Martin M.
