It promotes the perspective of 'integrated' social science, in which social science questions are addressed in a deliberately eclectic manner, combining results and models from evolutionary biology, experimental psychology, economics, anthropology and history. It thus constitutes a welcome contribution to a gradually emerging approach to social science based on E. O. Wilson's concept of 'consilience'. Human Cultures through the Scientific Lens spans a wide range of topics, from an examination of ritual behaviour, integrating neuro-science, ethology and anthropology to explain why humans engage in ritual actions (both cultural and individual), to the motivation of conflicts between groups. As such, the collection gives readers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the applications of an evolutionary paradigm in the social sciences. This volume will be a useful resource for scholars and students in the social sciences (particularly psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology and the political sciences), as well as a general readership interested in the social sciences. 517 $aHuman Cultures through the Scientific Lens 606 $aCognition and culture 606 $aEthnopsychology 615 0$aCognition and culture. 615 0$aEthnopsychology. 676 $a306.42 700 $aBoyer$b Pascal$0533977 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493746003321 996 $aHuman Cultures through the Scientific Lens$93363590 997 $aUNINA
