Evolutionism and Cultural Anthropology traces the interaction of evolutionary thought and anthropological theory from Herbert Spencer to the twenty-first century. It is a focused examination of how the idea of evolution has continued to provide anthropology with a master principle around which a vast body of data can be organized and synthesized. Erudite and readable, and quoting extensively from early theorists (such as Edward Tylor, Lewis Henry Morgan, John McLennan, Henry Maine, and James Frazer) so that the reader might judge them on the basis of their own words, Evolutionism and Cultural Anthropology is useful reading for courses in anthropological theory and the history of anthropology.

Evolutionism in cultural anthropology
An arrogant African king believes he is the cleverest person in the world. In order to fuel his ego, he challenges his subjects to an impossible task. If they are able to weave him a robe of smoke, they will be smarter than the King.
The nimble rabbit fails, as does the sly and cunning fox, the powerful and fierce leopard, and the mighty elephant. So, when the tortoise accepts the challenge, everyone laughs. But the tortoise does not need to be nimble or sly or fierce or mighty, he only needs to be clever. And clever he is. Tololwa M. Mollel creates a suspenseful and humorous story with a lesson about pride.
Kathy Blankley's illustrations below with the warmth of an African sun. The attempts by the various animals to weave a robe out of smoke are vivid and engaging. Each page is trimmed with a bright African design. I love the closing picture of the happy tortoise.
Parents will enjoy reading this book to their child. It would be interesting to stop and ask the child how they would try to create a robe out of smoke for the King. For children reading themselves, I would put the level at grade 3. Well recommended.
