Lee Cronk is a professor of anthropology at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1989. His first book, That Complex Whole: Culture and the Evolution of Human Behavior, explored the possibility of developing an approach to the study of human behavior that incorporates both evolutionary theory and the concept of culture. Long-term fieldwork in Kenya led to his second book, From Mukogodo to Maasai: Ethnicity and Cultural Change in Kenya. It explores the past, present, and future of ethnic identity among the Mukogodo, a small group of Maasai-speaking pastoralists. Cronk's latest book, co-authored with political scientist Beth L. Leech, is titled Meeting at Grand Central: Understanding the Social and Evolutionary Roots of Cooperation, and was published by Princeton University Press. He has also co-edited two volumes. Adaptation and Human Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective, co-edited with William Irons and Napoleon Chagnon, is a collection of theoretical and empirical chapters by leading figures in the field of human behavioral ecology. Through the Looking Glass: Readings in Anthropology, co-edited with Vaughn M. Bryant, Jr., is designed for use in introductory anthropology classes. He has also published articles in American Anthropologist, Current Anthropology, Evolution and Human Behavior, Human Nature, Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, Ethnology, Human Ecology, PLOS One, and other journals. In addition, Cronk is currently co-director, with Athena Aktipis, of The Human Generosity Project (humangenerosity.org) and The Cooperation Science Network (cooperationscience.org).

Another step forward for empirical science.

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2001

This book brings together some of the best minds to discuss what we
know about evolutionary strategies for mating, parenting, reproduction
and altruism. It consists of numerous studies showing the universality
of human behavior, and how different ecologies result in different
local behaviors, all the while conforming to our innate algorithms.
That is, how nature and nurture combine resulting in our modern
societies, and how our maladaptations with regards to rep[17~roduction
and altruism are a result of our technology changing the rules of
adapted strategies. Such things as birth control have now unlinked
male social displays of wealth and dominance that once led to
reproductive success.
But the best part of the book is the Statement
of Theories. It is a lucid history of how cultural anthropology has
all but abandoned the scientific empiricism for a politically driven
agenda of cultural determinism. That is, while these radical
environmentalists were criticizing evolutionary approaches without
coming up with alternative theories, evolutionary theorists were
charging ahead, making phenomenal progress in understanding human
nature. It explains again how detractors such as Sahlins, Gould,
Lewontin, Kamin, Rose, et al., with their condemnation of the
evolutionary perspective, without providing alternative hypotheses,
have actually accelerated the progress made in linking humans to all
other organisms in an evolutionary explanation of how we interact with
the world about us.

[17~[17~[17~
Overall, this book is must
reading, especially for anyone interested in demographics, parenting,
and reproduction rates of different population groups. Especially now
when there is a renewed interest in many countries that reproduction
rates are so low that immigration is sought to make up the difference,
with the impending problems it brings when multiculturalism replaces
homogeneous populations and cultures.
