Second of two talks by Paul Bohannan , Ph.D.
Lecturer in Social Anthropology in the University of Oxford
The speaker suggests that a significant part of what is known as ' detribalisation ' is the fact that formerly primitive societies are expanding at an unprecedented rate. He considers the theory advanced by David Riesman in The Lonely Crowd that different relations of birth to death rates in a society produce marked changes in human character and aspirations.
