Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Social scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians have adapted evolutionary theory for use in a variety of disciplines for several decades, but until now historians have lagged behind. In The Return of Science, several distinguished historians join prominent scholars from a wide range of disciplines to debate the applications of evolutionary theory to cultural, social, economic, and political phenomena. The contributors offer original theoretical approaches and deal with issues such as the benefits, limits, and dangers of using evolutionary theory in the social sciences, the problem of defining units of evolution, the use of mathematics in historical study, and the appropriateness of chaos theory in historical study. Originally published as part of the journal History and Theory, these revised and updated essays are a valuable resource for historiographers. In this collection of essays, historians discuss the applications of evolutionary theory to cultural, social, economic and political phenomena. Contributors include anthropologist Donald Brown, archaeologist Albert Naccache and demographer Noel Bonneuil. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this collection of essays, historians discuss the applications of evolutionary theory to cultural, social, economic and political phenomena. William H. McNeill presents a magisterial statement about the convergence of the sciences toward an evolutionary worldview. Several contributors offer support for this thesis. Anthropologist Donald Brown and archaeologist Albert Naccache bring together the realms of biology and culture in examinations of evolved human features and modes of evolution. Demographer Noel Bonneuil and neuroscientist Alonso Pena apply mathematics to historical evolutionary processes such as the decision-making of human agents and cultural diffusion. The collection also contains the warnings of biologist Richard Lewontin and his co-author, philosopher Joseph Fracchia. They and historian David Gary Shaw review the misuses of evolutionary theory and the dangers that still attend its applications to history. Stephen Berry, another biologist, and historian Bruce Mazlish probe the limits of the notion of history as evolution.Historians Martin Stuart-Fox, Philip Pomper and Doyne Dawson address the vexing problem of defining the units of historical evolution and applying them in historical study.
