The Bridge to Humanity

This work by a contemporary of Alfred Kroeber and one of anthropology's most distinguished professors is designed to be used as a supplementary text for any course in which the instructor wants to explore the relationship of biology and culture in the evolution of human behavior. Picking up on some of the theoretical issues Goldschmidt first broached in Man's Way (1959), he demonstrates that culture operates by means of biological mechanisms that have come into
being by an evolutionary process. Affect hunger, he argues, is the essential missing key to understanding human society.
