商品簡介
Communication scholars Lull (emeritus, San Jose State U., California) and Neiva (U. of Alabama-Birmingham) explore how communication drives biological and cultural change by analyzing core domains of human existence as communications phenomena. The domains are sheer survival, sex, culture, morality, religion, and technological change. Their goal is not to provide a comprehensive account, but to encourage other researchers to investigate the role of communication in evolution.
