Both natural and cultural selection played an important role in
shaping human evolution. Since cultural change can itself be
regarded as evolutionary, a process of gene-culture coevolution is
operative. The study of human evolution - in past, present and
future - is therefore not restricted to biology. An inclusive
comprehension of human evolution relies on integrating insights
about cultural, economic and technological evolution with relevant
elements of evolutionary biology. In addition, proximate causes and
effects of cultures need to be added to the picture - issues which
are at the forefront of social sciences like anthropology,
economics, geography and innovation studies. This book highlights
discussions on the many topics to which such generalised
evolutionary thought has been applied: the arts, the brain, climate
change, cooking, criminality, environmental problems, futurism,
gender issues, group processes, humour, industrial dynamics,
institutions, languages, medicine, music, psychology, public
policy, religion, sex, sociality and sports.
