Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a foundational text of anthropology, explores the diversity of humankind across the globe, discussing physical, linguistic, and cultural characteristics of human populations. The author grapples with the tension between unity and plurality in the human species, beginning with the question of whether humans and apes share a common ancestor, then exploring the question of whether and how different races of humankind diverged from a single, original population. The author uses evidence from a range of fields, including anatomy, linguistics, and archaeology, to support the idea that all humans are descended from a common ancestor, and argues that while there is great diversity among human populations, this diversity is the product of adaptation to different environments and historical experiences rather than evidence of distinct origins.
