| Sumario: | Scale matters. When conducting research and writing, scholars upscale and downscale. So do the subjects of their work - we scale, they scale.

The volume brings together scholars from diverse fields, working on different geographical areas and time periods, to engage with scale-conscious questions regarding human sociality, culture, and evolution. |
