Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.: Blackwell, 1992. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This book critically examines the broad range of evolutionary theories in the social sciences, including those of Spencer, Marx & Engels, Darwin, Childe, Parsons, Lenski, Harris, and others; it compares and contrasts these theories in terms of their notions of causation, their assumptions about human progress, and the adequacy of their modes of explanation and interpretation of evidence (light green cover with black lettering, Flemish painting on front cover; slight crease at bottom of spine, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
