412 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Engaging critically with concepts of race, species, and otherness, this book contributes to current debates on human evolution. In a political climate marked by movements such as Black Lives Matter and policies like Donald Trump's Executive Order 14168 against 'gender ideology', this volume brings together a group of leading scholars in archeology, paleoanthropology and human evolution to examine how narratives of human origins intersect with issues of race, gender, and anthropocentrism. Drawing on postcolonial and critical frameworks from the Humanities and Social Sciences, it interrogates key foundational concepts and assumptions underpinning evolutionary discourses.
