ISBN 0394407652. LCCN 77-5977. In this study the author shows how the endless varieties of cultural behavior, often so puzzling at first glance, can be explained as adaptations to particular ecological conditions. His aim is to account for the evolution of cultural forms as Darwin accounted for the evolution of biological forms: to show how cultures adopt their characteristic forms in response to changing ecological modes.
