Where previous works on the topic have variously supported multilevel selection with logic, theory, experimental data, or via review of the zoological literature; in this book the authors uniquely establish the validity of human group selection as a historical evolutionary process within a multilevel selection framework..Select portions of the historical record are examined from a multilevel selectionist perspective, such that clashing civilizations, decline and fall, law, custom, war, genocide, ostracism, banishment, and the like are viewed with the end of understanding their implications for internal cohesion, external defense, and population demography. In doing so, its authors advance the potential for further interdisciplinary study in fostering, for instance, the convergence of history and biology. This work will provide fresh insights not only for evolutionists but also for researchers working across | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | 关键词 | Multilevel Selection Theory; Group and Individual Selection; cultural group selection; gene-culture coe | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-49520-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-49522-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-49520-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
