1 y separately published work icon Anthropology Through Science Fiction Carol Mason (editor), Martin H. Greenberg (editor), Patricia Warrick (editor), New York (City) : St. Martin's Press , 1974 Z1828953 1974 anthology short story science fiction A collection of stories dealing with core anthropological issues, such as the definition of 'human', the role of adaptation in human evolution, the development of social groups and establishment of complex societies, and appreciation of other cultural systems and the relation of humans to the universe. While each story has been chosen on the basis of its anthropologically related content, not all of them are clear examples of thought experiments.
