Orderly Anarchy: Sociopolitical Evolution in Aboriginal California Volume 8 Hardcover - 2015
by Robert L. Bettinger
From the rear cover
"Orderly Anarchy is possibly the most important contribution to California anthropology since Kroeber's 1925 handbook. It is a wholly original, thought-provoking synthesis of theory, ethnography, and archaeology. If it doesn't become a singular focus of anthropological research in California for decades to come, people are not paying attention."
Terry Jones, Professor of Anthropology at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and editor of California Archaeology "Bettinger advances a bold claim about the dynamics of California aboriginal populations, one that is novel and surprising . . . Orderly Anarchy is an important book."
Samuel Bowles, Director of Behavioral Sciences at the Santa Fe Institute, and coauthor of A Cooperative Species: Human Reciprocity and Its Evolution "Orderly Anarchy provides a new and innovative perspective on the evolutionary trajectory of California aboriginal groups by explaining how small politically autonomous groups developed, and how intensive adaptations--such as the use of bow and arrow--were adaptive peaks in their own right and not way stations on route to agriculture." William Hildebrandt, President, Far Western Anthropological Research Group

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Orderly Anarchy delivers a provocative and innovative reexamination of the trajectory of sociopolitical evolution among Native American groups in California, explaining the region's prehistorically rich diversity of languages, populations, and environmental adaptations. Ethnographic and archaeological data and evolutionary, economic, and anthropological theory are often presented to explain the evolution of increasing social complexity and inequality. In Bettinger's account, these same data and theories are employed to argue for an evolving pattern of orderly anarchy,' which featured small, inward-looking groups that, having devised a diverse range of…
