Kin, relatives, families. They all matter to us, even make us who we are. Kin Matters examines three connected themes that matter for anthropologists: the nature of relations, incest and its avoidance, and the study of kinship in cultural anthropology. It develops an integrative framework for thinking about kin matters advocating for more fluidity between the cognitive, biological, and social sciences-the fragile sciences-than typically found in those sciences and in reflection on them. Along the way, Kin Matters offers a novel account of relations, challenges culture-first explanations of incest avoidance, and gently redirects the study of kinship.
