Where Are We Heading - Ian Hodder

A Theory Of Human Evolution And History Based On Ever-increasing Mutual Dependency Between Humans And Things In This Engaging Exploration, Archaeologist Ian Hodder Departs From The Two Prevailing Modes Of Thought About Human Evolution: The Older Idea Of Constant Advancement Toward A Civilized Ideal And The Newer One Of A Directionless Process Of Natural Selection. Instead, He Proposes A Theory Of Human Evolution And History Based On Entanglement, The Ever-increasing Mutual Dependency Between Humans And Things. Not Only Do Humans Become Dependent On Things, Hodder Asserts, But Things Become Dependent On Humans, Requiring An Endless Succession Of Innovations.
