The Fest makes Douglas's metaphor of society as corporate body liceral, sear- ing chat society isa system of active forces thar is "nor mecely lke a single eganiom: itis a biological phenomenon, a product of the evol process" (1977.8), Second was a version of the psychic unity p {hat all humans possess a common repertoire of somatic state states of consciousness, aud properties of cognitive function (1977: 10), Tied was that non-verbal communication is fandamencal, and should be understood as the meeting point of the micra-analysis of human move- trent by proxemies and kinesies and rhe macro-analysis of group adapta- qion procestes by demography and population genetics (1977s 13}.
