The Prologue advances a compre hensive acco/unt of the field of gene-culture co-evolution, where Lumsden and Gushurst differentiate between "classical" sociobiology (represented especially by Wilson‘s early work) and current research on human socio biology (represented by Lumsden and Wilson‘s later work), which emphasizes interplay between genes, minds, and culture. The specter of genetic deter minism, no doubt, has created considerable controversy, some of which may be laid to rest by Hanna‘s analysis of the (ambiguous) notion of a "genetic program", which indicates the necessity for distinguishing between descriptive and prescriptive dimensions of this complex concept. Brandon offers a framework for assessing the respective contributions of nature and of nurture by advancing a means for measuring genetic and cultural influences upon " | 出版日期 | Book 1985 | 关键词 | behavior; epistemology; evolution; knowledge; sociobiology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-009-5370-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-277-2006-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-009-5370-3Series ISSN 0166-6991 Series E-ISSN 2542-8292 | issn_series | 0166-6991 | copyright | D.
