David Amigoni shows how the modern concept of 'culture' developed out of the interdisciplinary interactions between literature, philosophy, anthropology, colonialism, and, in particular, Darwin's theories of evolution. This fascinating book includes much material on the history of evolutionary thought and its cultural impact.
