Abstract
Caporael's (1995) account of human sociality bears a
strong affinity to Fiske's (1991, 1992) theory of the elementary
forms of social relations. Convergences are noted, and divergences
are examined for complementarities of substance and emphasis.
Keywords

selection, hierarchy, human evolution, social cognition, social
identity, teleofunctionalism
