A Non-Quantitative Non-Law in Anthropology: A Reply to Carneiro
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
I explain my "failure" to familiarize myself with Carneiro's more recent attempts to arrive at "laws" of cultural evolution, and go on to critically evaluate his 1968 paper. I attempt to demonstrate that Carneiro's "law" is not applicable to cultural development in general, and that it is neither quantitative in application nor a law.
