About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in a square and tight binding. Previous owner's name is on the top outside corner of the front free end paper. Very slight foxing on the top fore edge of the text block. A solid copy. From the Foreword, "Evolutionary theory, basically, is about the rise of complexity, whether of the movement from simple to complex biological organisms or simple to complex cultures. The American Indians are highly variable in cultural complexity, ranging from simple hunting-gathering bands of only a few hundred people, through intermediate tribes like the Iroquois, to the affluent chiefdoms of the Northwest Coasts, and finally the flamboyant empire of the Aztecs of Mexico." p. xx.
