AThink of the word "evolution": the name Darwin and the term
"natural selection" come to mind. But any powerful general theory
of evolution must account for social evolution, both human and
nonhuman, and contemporary Darwinism has not persuasively made such
an accounting. In "Interactions: The Biological Context of Social
Systems, " Niles Eldredge and Marjorie Grene argue effectively and
coherently against the reductionist tendencies in modern Darwinism,
which they call ultra-Darwinism, also known as genic reduction.
This book explores the biological underpinnings of social
systems from invertebrates to mammals, particularly humans. These
social systems, the authors argue, represent fusions between the
economic and reproductive interests of organisms. Their theory
moves away from the more prominent emphasis on reproductive biology
at the core of sociobiology to reinstate the importance of
economics in social organizations of all types.
