That Complex Whole: Culture and the Evolution of Human Behavior deals with such key issues as how culture is best defined, how it influences human behavior, and the limited but important role of cultural relativism, pointing the way toward a scientific study of human behavior that is at once evolutionary and cultural.

Can one change one's ethnicity? Can an entire ethnic group change its ethnicity? This book focuses on the strategic manipulation of ethnic identity by the Mukogodo of Kenya. Until the 1920s and 1930s, the Mukogodo were Cushitic-speaking foragers (hunters, gatherers, and beekeepers).

A lively discussion of the relationship between culture and biology in the evolution of human behavior.

Explores the strategic manipulation of ethnic identity by the Mukogodo of Kenya.
