Add to basketHardback. Prof. V. Gordon Childe, C. A. Watts & Co. Ltd. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Good , price clippedMarkings: No markingsA landmark work in anthropological and archaeological theory, Social Evolution presents V. Gordon Childe's rigorous argument that human societies progress through ident…ifiable stages of development driven by technological and economic transformation. Drawing on his vast expertise in prehistoric archaeology, Childe illustrates how the mastery of food production, metallurgy, and urban organization catalyzed successive revolutions in social complexity - from Neolithic villages to the first literate civilizations. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible clarity, the work situates cultural change within a materialist framework, arguing that the forces of production fundamentally shape social structures across time and geography. Childe engages critically with earlier evolutionary thinkers, refining and challenging their models with concrete archaeological evidence drawn from the ancient Near East, Europe, and beyond. A foundational text for students of archaeology, anthropology, and social theory, Social Evolution remains an essential reference for understanding how human societies transform themselves through cumulative technological and organizational innovation. Hardback.
