Abstract

Discusses ways in which human agency revealed in archaeological moments such as tool-making at Boxgrove or dietary remains from a buried NW Coast native American village can be integrated nto the study of long term adaptive or social evolutionary trends. The compatibility of agency theory proposed by Giddens and Bourdieu with neo-Darwinian theory is assessed.
