Thousands of distinct cultural groups exist: about 6,000 languages are spoken today, and it is thought that a far greater number of languages existed in the past but became extinct. Using a Darwinian approach, this book seeks to explain this rich cultural variation. There are a number of theoretical reasons to believe that cultural diversification might be tree-like, that is phylogenetic: material and non-material culture is clea 410 0$aUNIV COL LONDON INST ARCH PUB 606 $aPhylogeny -- Congresses 606 $aSocial evolution -- Congresses 606 $aAnthropology$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aSocial & Cultural Anthropology$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aPhylogeny -- Congresses. 615 4$aSocial evolution -- Congresses. 615 7$aAnthropology 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aSocial & Cultural Anthropology 676 $a303.4 700 $aMace$b Ruth$0729366 701 $aHolden$b Clare J$0908923 701 $aShennan$b Stephen$0248839 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456725503321 996 $aThe Evolution of Cultural Diversity$92032862 997 $aUNINA
