Cultural advice

The Australian National University acknowledges, celebrates and pays our respects to the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people of the Canberra region and to all First Nations Australians on whose traditional lands we meet and work, and whose cultures are among the oldest continuing cultures in human history.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are advised that ANU Library collections may include images, names, voices, and other representations of deceased persons.

Material in the collection may contain terms, language or views that reflect the period in which the item was created and may be considered inappropriate today.

Abstract

The book is divided into five sections (The Evolution of Social Learning; Ethnic Groups and Markers; Human Cooperation, Reciprocity and Group Selection; Archaeology and Culture History; and Links to Other Disciplines) with short original introductions to each section. The absence of more compelling applications of Boyd and Richerson's concepts and methods may simply be because the discipline has yet to see its golden age (perhaps due to the historical stigma attached to the suggestion that human behaviour can be explained in Darwinian evolutionary terms).
