Sobre IBD

Political correctness has reduced social anthropology to a state of terminal incoherence, and this collection of papers demolishes some of the fashionable taboos that are involved. The ultra-Darwinism of some sociobiologists has also degenerated into a cult which, like political correctness, is increasingly resistant to rational debate. As well as including some well-known classics, some new papers have been specially written for this collection showing the irrelevance of Darwinism to the social sciences.

More recently, many have judged it the unhistorical product of a ''Johannine community.''

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
  • Tommaso Traetta and the Fusion of Italian and French Opera in Parma
    George W. Loomis
    In 1759, the court of the Italian Duchy of Parma adopted the inspiration of cultural creators who recommended a reform of Italian opera along French lines. These writers favored combining Italian-style music with the wider range of musical genres and scenic variety of French opera. As the music critic and commentator George W. Loomis shows in this groundbreaking volume, the you...

  • How We Got Here
    C. R. Hallpike / CRHallpike
    Only 10,000 years ago, our ancestors were small groups of hunter-gatherers, with bows and arrows and stone tools. Today, we live in vast nations with all the power of modern science and industry, and the ability to send men to the Moon and to destroy all life on the planet. In the history of the world, 10,000 years is the blink of an eye, yet it has seen the total transformatio...

The Konso are one of the most important peoples of East Africa, and the author was able to revisit them in 1997. As a result he discovered large amounts of entirely new material, and has been able to produce a completely revised edi...
