“This well-written book, geared toward an audience with background in the behavioral and evolutionary sciences but accessible to a broad readership, raises two general questions: ‘What is an egalitarian society?’ and ‘How have these societies evolved?’… [Christopher Boehm] takes the reader on a journey from the Arctic to the Americas, from Australia to Africa, in search of hunter-gatherer and tribal societies that emanate the egalitarian ethos—one that promotes generosity, altruism and sharing but forbids upstartism, aggression and egoism. Throughout this journey, Boehm tantalizes the reader with vivid anthropological accounts of ridicule, criticism, ostracism and even execution—prevalent tactics used by subordinates in egalitarian societies to level the social playing field… Hierarchy in the Forest is an interesting and thought-provoking book that is surely an important contribution to perspectives on human sociality and politics.”—Ryan Earley, American Scientist źródło opisu: http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=978067...(?) źródło okładki: http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=978067...»
