    THE FIRST INSTITUTIONAL SPHERES IN HUMAN SOCIETIES
    SETH ABRUTYN / JONATHAN TURNER
    Few concepts are as central to sociology as institutions. Yet, like so many sociological concepts, institutions remain vaguely defined. This book expands a foundational definition of the institution, one which locates them as the basic building blocks of human societies—as structural and cultural machines for survival that make it possible to pass precious knowledge from one ge...

    ON HUMAN NATURE
    JONATHAN H. TURNER
    In this book, Jonathan H. Turner combines sociology, evolutionary biology, cladistic analysis from biology, and comparative neuroanatomy to examine human nature as inherited from common ancestors shared by humans and present-day great apes. Selection pressures altered this inherited legacy for the ancestors of humans—termed hominins for being bipedal—and forced greater organiza...

    THE NEW EVOLUTIONARY SOCIOLOGY
    JONATHAN TURNER / RICHARD MACHALEK
    For decades, evolutionary analysis was overlooked or altogether ignored by sociologists. Fears and biases persisted nearly a century after Auguste Comte gave the discipline its name, as did concerns that its effect would only reduce sociology to another discipline – whether biology, psychology, or economics. Worse, apprehension that the application of evolutionary theory would ...

    REVOLT FROM THE MIDDLE
    JONATHAN H. TURNER
    Those who address conflict resulting from differing socio-economic groups (stratification systems) focus on the arousal of negative emotions. Less frequently explored are the effects of positive emotions, particularly among the middle classes in industrial and post-industrial societies. In more developed societies, those experiencing positive emotional energy far outnumber thos...

    ON THE ORIGIN OF SOCIETIES BY NATURAL SELECTION
    JONATHAN H. TURNER / ALEXANDRA MARYANSKI
    Kinship, religion, and economy were not "natural" to humans, nor to species of apes that had to survive on the African savanna. Society from its very beginnings involved an uneasy necessity that often stood in conflict with humans' ape ancestry; these tensions only grew along with later, more complex-eventually colossal-sociocultural systems. The ape in us was not extinguished,...
