Archaeology, Language, and History: Essays on Culture and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Terrell, John Edward, PUBLISHER: Praeger, Ever since Darwin, ong>theong> world has been struggling with ong>theong> mystery ong>ofong> human diversity. As ong>theong> historian Peter Bowler has written, "an evolutionary interpretation ong>ofong> ong>theong> history ong>ofong> life on ong>theong> earth must inevitably extend itself to include ong>theong> origins ong>ofong> ong>theong> human race." But this has proved to be a difficult and controversial task. Understanding human origins means accounting not only for ong>theong> obvious differences between people and cultures around ong>theong> world, but also for ong>theong> unity ong>ofong> Homo sapiens as a single biological species. As Stephen Jay Gould has said, "flexibility is ong>theong> hallmark ong>ofong> human evolution." Because so much ong>ofong> who we are is learned raong>theong>r than genetically predetermined, a satisfactory understanding ong>ofong> human evolution--to use old parlance--must account both for ong>theong> human body and ong>theong> human soul. At any single moment ong>ofong> time, it is always possible to find instances where people seem to live in ong>theong>ir own world, speak in ong>theong>ir own distinctive ways, and have ong>theong>ir own exclusive cultural traits and practices. Over ong>theong> course ong>ofong> time, however, it is not so easy to find places where ong>theong>se dimensions ong>ofong> our diversity stay togeong>theong>r. ong>Theong> ong>essaysong> in this collection show why we must stop thinking that "race," language, and culture go togeong>theong>r, and why we should be wary ong>ofong> ong>theong> commonsense beliefs that human races exist and that people who speak different languages come from fundamentally different biological lineages.
