Goody, Jack (Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Cambridge and Fellow of St John's College)
The idea of long-term European dominance is characteristic of most evolutionary theories of human culture and society in the 19th century. Today there are many who still believe that this progression was part of a European miracle that underlay the rise to global supremacy of the West. This book dismantles this Eurocentric view of the world.
