Abstract deadline: 15 October 2026
Social Evolution & History (SEH) invites contributions to a special issue devoted to the social evolution of Latin American societies, from the emergence of pre-Columbian complex societies to the present day. The issue seeks theoretically ambitious and empirically grounded studies that place Latin America at the centre of debates on how human societies develop over the long run, and that use the Latin American experience to test, refine, and challenge general theories of social evolution, world-system dynamics, and globalization.
