Abstract

This chapter describes social-coercion theory as conceptualized by Paul Bingham and Joanne Souza. This theory, which pertains to the evolution of human uniqueness, helps us understand how humans evolved to coordinate social activities in small non–kin-based groups. The tendency of humans to form such coordinated alliances is a foundational part of our evolutionary history that sets us apart from other apes in important ways. Further, this theory can help us understand the emergence of democracy and egalitarianism as basic aspects of the human social world. Understanding the principles that underlie this theory can help us understand factors associated with positive functioning in human communities.
政治猿猴
这一章描述了由Paul Bingham和Joanne Souza概念化的社会强制理论。这一理论与人类独特性的进化有关,有助于我们理解人类是如何进化到在小型的非亲属群体中协调社会活动的。人类形成这种协调联盟的倾向是我们进化史的一个基本组成部分,在重要方面使我们与其他类人猿区别开来。此外,这一理论可以帮助我们理解民主和平等主义作为人类社会世界的基本方面的出现。理解这一理论背后的原理可以帮助我们理解人类社会中与积极功能相关的因素。
