Abstract

Baumard and André (2025) have suggested that cultural dynamics can be studied as a form of ecology. This provides a simpler unified approach to explaining cultural evolution, within the context of human behaviour being shaped by natural selection. We briefly expand on two points: (1) why inclusive fitness represents our most general answer to what organisms are selected to maximise; (2) the potential for using existing eco-evolutionary theory methods to model cultural evolution.

运用包容性适应和生态进化理论来模拟文化进化

Baumard和andr(2025)认为，文化动态可以作为生态学的一种形式来研究。这为解释人类行为受自然选择影响的文化进化提供了一种更简单、统一的方法。我们简要地扩展了两点：(1)为什么包容性适应度代表了我们选择哪些生物以最大化的最一般答案；(2)利用现有生态进化理论方法模拟文化进化的潜力。

期刊介绍： Evolution and Human Behavior is an interdisciplinary journal, presenting research reports and theory in which evolutionary perspectives are brought to bear on the study of human behavior. It is primarily a scientific journal, but submissions from scholars in the humanities are also encouraged. Papers reporting on theoretical and empirical work on other species will be welcome if their relevance to the human animal is apparent.
