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. 606 $aHistory & Philosophy Of Science 606 $ahistory 606 $aeconomics 606 $aritual 606 $asocial science 606 $aneuroscience 606 $apolitical science 606 $aanthropology 606 $apsychology 606 $aethology 606 $aevolutionary biology 606 $aexperimental psychology 606 $ahuman evolution 615 4$aHistory & Philosophy Of Science 615 4$ahistory 615 4$aeconomics 615 4$aritual 615 4$asocial science 615 4$aneuroscience 615 4$apolitical science 615 4$aanthropology 615 4$apsychology 615 4$aethology 615 4$aevolutionary biology 615 4$aexperimental psychology 615 4$ahuman evolution 700 $aBoyer$b Pascal$0533977 701 $aBang Petersen$b Michael$01356800 701 $aBoyer$b Pascal$0533977 701 $aFirat$b Rengin$01356801 701 $aLiénard$b Pierre$01356802 701 $aVan Leeuwen$b Florian$01356803 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520203503321 996 $aHuman Cultures through the Scientific Lens$93361722 997 $aUNINA
