Social scientists can learn a lot from evolutionary biology - from
systematics and principles of evolutionary ecology to theories of
social interaction including competition, conflict and cooperation,
as well as niche construction, complexity, eco-evo-devo, and the
role of the individual in evolutionary processes. Darwinian
sociocultural evolutionary theory applies the logic of Darwinism to
social-learning based cultural and social change. With a
multidisciplinary approach for graduate biologists, philosophers,
sociologists, anthropologists, social psychologists,
archaeologists, linguists, economists, political scientists and
science and technology specialists, the author presents this model
of evolution drawing on a number of sophisticated aspects of
biological evolutionary theory. The approach brings together a
broad and inclusive theoretical framework for understanding the
social sciences which addresses many of the dilemmas at their
forefront - the relationship between history and necessity,
conflict and cooperation, the ideal and the material and the
problems of agency, subjectivity and the nature of social
structure. Please visit Marion Blute's blog at http:
