| Résumé : |
This landmark volume assesses the contribution of recent work in ethnobiology to anthropological thought. Comprising a series of articles written by international scholars, the book considers the ways in which the subject matter and methodologies of ethnobiological research address core anthropological questions about the character of culture, language, cognition, knowledge, subsistence practice and co-evolution.The contributors explore a wide variety of themes including: our understanding of those processes which transform the environment, the evolution of the cultural mind, classification and cognitive science, the character of cultural transmission, ethnobiology and archaeological interpretation, medical ethnobotany in relation to medical anthropology, and local ecological knowledge as applied anthropology. In this way, the book addresses issues of general interest in anthropology and helps to develop the productive relationship between ethnobiology and anthropology. [Résumé éditeur] |
