Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 431-456 pages with map, chart, figures, graphs and cited references. Quarto (11" x 8 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Current Anthropology Volume 28, Number 4 complete issue. First edition. In the study of evolution, biological or cultural, a critical element is a methodology for distinguishing homologous from analogous characters. The historical knowledge this requires must be sought in the phylogeny of the modern groups under study and their common ancestors. Applying the methods for determining the phylogenetic relationships among cultural groups defined some years ago by Romney and Vogt to the results of recent archacological and historical linguistic work, we examine Polynesia as a well-defined case of cultural "radiation" and divergence for which the specific shared ancestral traits can be distinguished from convergent developments in response to common selection pressures. We go on to present a series of hypotheses regarding some major factors underlying divergence and convergence in Polynesia in the hope that others will be stimulated to test them and thereby advance our understanding of this region.

Paperback. Condition: New. The power of an anthropological approach to long-term history lies in its unique ability to combine diverse evidence, from archaeological artifacts to ethnographic texts and comparative word lists. In this innovative book, Kirch and Green explicitly develop the theoretical underpinnings, as well as the particular methods, for such a historical anthropology. Drawing upon and integrating the approaches of archaeology, comparative ethnography, and historical linguistics, they advance a phylogenetic model for cultural diversification, and apply a triangulation method for historical reconstruction. They illustrate their approach through meticulous application to the history of the Polynesian cultures, and for the first time reconstruct in extensive detail the Ancestral Polynesian culture that flourished in the Polynesian homeland - Hawaiki - some 2,500 years ago. Of great significance for Oceanic studies, Kirch and Green's book will be essential reading for any anthropologist, prehistorian, linguist, or cultural historian concerned with the theory and method of long-term history.…
