Peter Jordan argues that human material culture is best understood as an expression of social tradition. In this approach, each artifact stands as an output of a distinctive operational sequence with specific choices made at each stage in its production. Jordan also explores different material culture traditions that are propagated through social learning, factors that promote coherent lineages of tradition to form, and the extent to which these cultural lineages exhibit congruence with one another and with language history. Drawing on the application of cultural transmission theory to empirical research, Jordan develops a descent-with-modification perspective on the technology of Northern Hemisphere hunter-gatherers. Case studies from indigenous societies in Northwest Siberia, the Pacific Northwest Coast, and Northern California provide cross-cultural insights related to the evolution of material culture traditions at different social and spatial scales. This book promises new ways of exploring some of the primary factors that generate human cultural diversity in the deep past and through to the present. 410 0$aOrigins of human behavior and culture ;$vNumber 7. 606 $aTechnology and civilization 606 $aHunting and gathering societies 606 $aTechnological complexity 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$xMaterial culture 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aSocial learning 606 $aIntercultural communication 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTechnology and civilization. 615 0$aHunting and gathering societies. 615 0$aTechnological complexity. 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples$xMaterial culture. 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aSocial learning. 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 676 $a303.48/3 700 $aJordan$b Peter$f1969-$01045615 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459840203321 996 $aTechnology as human social tradition$92472046 997 $aUNINA
