Description:
In this work Tim Ingold provides a persuasive new approach to the theory behind our perception of the world around us. The core of the argument is that where we refer to cultural variation we should be instead be talking about variation in skill. The twenty-three essays comprising this book explore different aspects of this argument, weaving together approaches from anthropology, ecological psychology, developmental biology and phenomenology in a way that has never been attempted before. It is set to revolutionize the way we think about what is 'biological' and 'cultural' in humans, about evolution and history, and indeed about what it means for human beings to inhabit an environment.
