Abstract

Baumard and André advocate for unifying human evolutionary approaches by drawing inspiration from ecology. In this way they aim to integrate Human Behavioral Ecology, Evolutionary Psychology, and Cultural Evolution Research. While I share their call for integrative models, their framing risks underplaying the necessary role of cultural transmission in human cultural ecology. I offer two readings of their view and argue that one of them is implausible.

生态框架不应否认传播的重要性——评鲍玛和安德烈的“文化的生态取向”

鲍玛德和安德烈主张从生态学中汲取灵感，统一人类的进化方法。通过这种方式，他们旨在整合人类行为生态学，进化心理学和文化进化研究。虽然我赞同他们对综合模式的呼吁，但他们的框架有低估文化传播在人类文化生态中的必要作用的风险。我对他们的观点提供了两种解读，并认为其中一种是不可信的。

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.
