  • Measuring the Cultural Evolution of Music: with Case Studies of British-American and Japanese Folk, Art, and Popular Music
    Measuring the cultural evolution of music: With case studies of British-American and Japanese folk, art, and popular music Patrick Evan SAVAGE This is an English version of my Japanese Ph.D. dissertation (Ph.D. conferred on March 27, 2017). The final Japanese version of record was deposited in the Japanese National Diet Library in June 2017. #2314910 Ph.D. entrance year: 2014 2016 academic year Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Musicology Ph.D. dissertation Supervisor： UEMURA Yukio Supervisory committee： TSUKAHARA Yasuko MARUI Atsushi Hugh DE FERRANTI i English abstract Student number： 2314910 Name： Patrick Evan SAVAGE Title： Measuring the cultural evolution of music: With case studies of British-American and Japanese folk, art, and popular music Darwin's theory of evolution provided striking explanatory power that has come to unify biology and has been successfully extended to various social sciences. In this dissertation, I demonstrate how cultural evolutionary theory may also hold promise for explaining diverse musical phenomena, using a series of quantitative case studies from a variety of cultures and genres to demonstrate general laws governing musical change. Chapter one describes previous research and debates regarding music and cultural evolution. Drawing on major advances in the scientific understanding of cultural evolution over the past three decades, I clarify persistent misconceptions about the roles of genes and progress in definitions of evolution, showing that neither is required or assumed. I go on to review older and recent literature relevant to musical evolution at a variety of levels, from Lomax's macroevolutionary interpretation of global patterns of song-style to microevolutionary mechanisms by which minute melodic variations give rise to large tune families.

  • Implicit Cultures: Towards a Psychosocial Theory of 'Intuitive
    Implicit Cultures: Towards a Psychosocial Theory of ‘Intuitive Religious Beliefs’ By Timothy J. McVicar A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington In Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts In Religious Studies School of Art History, Classics and Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2011 2 If we threw a handful of children on an island and they raised themselves I think they would believe in God (Barrett cited in Beckford, 2008). A child raised on a desert island…would come out as Geertz envisioned, something of a monster, something other than a fully human intentional and moral agent (Tomasello, 1999: 215). 3 Acknowledgements Many people helped ensure that this thesis reached fruition. The steady and always enthusiastic hand of my supervisor Joseph Bulbulia provided the necessary expertise, guidance, and inspiration needed to make the project achievable and enjoyable. I am grateful to him for this and for introducing me to the field in my undergrad years. His interest and enthusiasm directly stirred my own. My secondary supervisor, Michael Raddich, who came onboard in the final stages, offered timely expertise on writing style, structure, and content. My thesis would be poorer without the insight and precision he was able to bring. Thanks heaps. A thank you is also due to the Religious Studies programme administrator Aliki Kalliabetsos, who provided guidance and seemly endless tins of instant coffee. Thanks also to the academics in the Religious Studies Department: Rick Weiss, Paul Morris, and Art Buehler for informal discussions and direction. I would also like to thank my postgraduate colleges, Milan Magan, Lisa Eyre, Negar Patrow and Wil Hoverd, who ensured my time here has been an enjoyable, empathetic and intellectually enriching one.

  • The Cultural Evolution of Epistemic Practices: the Case of Divination Author: Ze Hong A1, Joseph Henricha
    Title: The cultural evolution of epistemic practices: the case of divination Author: Ze Hong a1, Joseph Henricha Author Affiliations: a Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, 11 Divinity Avenue, 02138, Cambridge, MA, United States Keywords: cultural Evolution; divination; information transmission; Bayesian reasoning 1 To whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT While a substantial literature in anthropology and comparative religion explores divination across diverse societies and back into history, little research has integrated the older ethnographic and historical work with recent insights on human learning, cultural transmission and cognitive science. Here we present evidence showing that divination practices are often best viewed as an epistemic technology, and formally model the scenarios under which individuals may over-estimate the efficacy of divination that contribute to its cultural omnipresence and historical persistence. We found that strong prior belief, under-reporting of negative evidence, and mis-inferring belief from behavior can all contribute to biased and inaccurate beliefs about the effectiveness of epistemic technologies. We finally suggest how scientific epistemology, as it emerged in the Western societies over the last few centuries, has influenced the importance and cultural centrality of divination practices. 2 1. INTRODUCTION The ethnographic and historical record suggests that most, and potentially all, human societies have developed techniques, processes or technologies that reveal otherwise hidden or obscure information, often about unknown causes or future events. In historical and contemporary small-scale societies around the globe, divination—"the foretelling of future events or discovery of what is hidden or obscure by supernatural or magical means” –has been extremely common, possibly even universal (Flad 2008; Boyer 2020).

  • Bringing in Darwin Bradley A. Thayer
    Bringing in Darwin Bradley A. Thayer Evolutionary Theory, Realism, and International Politics Efforts to develop a foundation for scientiªc knowledge that would unite the natural and social sci- ences date to the classical Greeks. Given recent advances in genetics and evolu- tionary theory, this goal may be closer than ever.1 The human genome project has generated much media attention as scientists reveal genetic causes of dis- eases and some aspects of human behavior. And although advances in evolu- tionary theory may have received less attention, they are no less signiªcant. Edward O. Wilson, Roger Masters, and Albert Somit, among others, have led the way in using evolutionary theory and social science to produce a synthesis for understanding human behavior and social phenomena.2 This synthesis posits that human behavior is simultaneously and inextricably a result of evo- lutionary and environmental causes. The social sciences, including the study of international politics, may build upon this scholarship.3 In this article I argue that evolutionary theory can improve the realist theory of international politics. Traditional realist arguments rest principally on one of two discrete ultimate causes, or intellectual foundations. The ªrst is Reinhold Niebuhr’s argument that humans are evil. The second is grounded in the work Bradley A. Thayer is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota—Duluth. I am grateful to Mlada Bukovansky, Stephen Chilton, Christopher Layne, Michael Mastanduno, Roger Masters, Paul Sharp, Alexander Wendt, Mike Winnerstig, and Howard Wriggins for their helpful comments. I thank Nathaniel Fick, David Hawkins, Jeremy Joseph, Christopher Kwak, Craig Nerenberg, and Jordana Phillips for their able research assistance.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Integration Or Social
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Integration or Social Control? The Evolution of Religious-Rituals A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology by John Manuel Aldecoa June 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Alexandra Maryanski, Chairperson Dr. Jonathan H. Turner Dr. Jan E. Stets Dr. Christopher Chase-Dunn Copyright by John Manuel Aldecoa 2016 The Thesis of John Manuel Aldecoa is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Integration or Social Control? The Evolution of Religious-Rituals by John Manuel Aldecoa Master of Arts Graduate Program in Sociology University of California, Riverside, June 2016 Dr. Alexandra Maryanski, Chairperson Scholars generally agree that religion is a social construct, but polarize along the line of what consequences religious-rituals actually have in society. Durkheimian and neo-Darwinian scholars argue that the religious-ritual evolved to integrate societal members and promote prosocial behavior. Critical theorists contend religious-rituals may not operate so much to create shared beliefs but instead to legitimate a structure of dominance within society. I argue that a nexus between these theories can be found with an examination of the underlying neurology of religious-rituals. The mirror neuronal system (MNS) is the foundation for the humanistic ‘desire’ for mimesis. Religious-rituals stimulate the MNS to promote empathy, trust, and integration. As societies grew, increasing social distance and differentiation (i.e., stratification) weakened empathetic bonding between religious specialists and the religious group. Reduced empathy lead to increased selfishness and other antisocial behaviors that benefited the social elite. I conclude with a discussion of the primary link between the integration and social control hypotheses: mimesis, synchrony, and emotionality.

  • The Weirdest People in the World?
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2010) 33, 61–135 doi:10.1017/S0140525X0999152X The weirdest people in the world? Joseph Henrich Department of Psychology and Department of Economics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] http://www.psych.ubc.ca/henrich/home.html Steven J. Heine Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] Ara Norenzayan Department of Psychology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Behavioral scientists routinely publish broad claims about human psychology and behavior in the world’s top journals based on samples drawn entirely from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. Researchers – often implicitly – assume that either there is little variation across human populations, or that these “standard subjects” are as representative of the species as any other population. Are these assumptions justified? Here, our review of the comparative database from across the behavioral sciences suggests both that there is substantial variability in experimental results across populations and that WEIRD subjects are particularly unusual compared with the rest of the species – frequent outliers. The domains reviewed include visual perception, fairness, cooperation, spatial reasoning, categorization and inferential induction, moral reasoning, reasoning styles, self-concepts and related motivations, and the heritability of IQ. The findings suggest that members of WEIRD societies, including young children, are among the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans. Many of these findings involve domains that are associated with fundamental aspects of psychology, motivation, and behavior – hence, there are no obvious a priori grounds for claiming that a particular behavioral phenomenon is universal based on sampling from a single subpopulation.

Human behavioral ecology and the study of religion During the growth phase of any academic field it is worthwhile to pause and consider the ways in which the field has developed. There are many reasons to attempt a stock-take: to gauge progress, diagnose problems, consider position relative to other disciplines, identify big challenges, spot opportunities, strategize, or simply to celebrate the field’s many achievements. Our previous edi- torials have variously attempted to address each of these tasks. Here, though, we would like to do something a little different. Instead of asking what actually happened to the field, we consider what might have happened: were there alternative, potentially more fruitful pathways in which our field, the biocultural study of religion, could have progressed? Were there missed opportunities during the field’s development? Rather than contemplating the fish in hand, how big was the fish that got away? By most accounts our field consists of at least two major subfields—the evolutionary study of reli- gion and the cognitive science of religion.

  • DANIEL DENNETT and the SCIENCE of RELIGION Richard F
    DANIEL DENNETT AND THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION Richard F. Green Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Minnesota-Duluth Duluth, MN 55812 ABSTRACT Daniel Dennett (2006) recently published a book, “Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon,” which advocates the scientific study of religion. Dennett is a philosopher with wide-ranging interests including evolution and cognitive psychology. This talk is basically a review of Dennett’s religion book, but it will include comments about other work about religion, some mentioned by Dennett and some not. I will begin by describing my personal interest in religion and philosophy, including some recent reading. Then I will comment about the study of religion, including the scientific study of religion. Then I will describe some of Dennett’s ideas about religion. I will conclude by trying outlining the ideas that should be considered in order to understand religion. This talk is mostly about ideas, particularly religious beliefs, but not so much churches, creeds or religious practices. These other aspects of religion are important, and are the subject of study by a number of disciplines. I will mention some of the ways that people have studied religion, mainly to provide context for the particular ideas that I want to emphasize. I share Dennett’s reticence about defining religion. I will offer several definitions of religion, but religion is probably better defined by example than by attempting to specify its essence. A particular example of a religion is Christianity, even more particularly, Roman Catholicism. MOTIVATION My interest in philosophy and religion I. Beginnings I read a few books about religion and philosophy when I was in high school and imagined that college would be full of people arguing about religion and philosophy.

Theodosius Dobzhansky, Cold Springs Harbor Symposium, 1953. The interaction between regulator and structural genes... [reinforces] the concept that the genotype of the individual is a whole. Ernst Mayr, Populations, Species and Evolution, 1970 Abstract This paper develops inclusive fitness theory with the aim of clarifying its appropriate place in sociobiological theory and specifying the associated principles that render it powerful. The paper introduces one new concept, that of the core genome. Treating the core genome as a unit of selection solves problems concerning levels of selection in evolution. 1 Summary Sociobiology is the study of biological interaction, both intragenomic, among loci in the genome, and intergenomic, among individuals in a reproductive popula- tion (Gardner et al. 2007). William Hamilton (1964) extended the theory of gene frequencies developed in the first half of the Twentieth century (Crow and I would like to thank Samuel Bowles, Eric Charnov, Steven Frank, Michael Ghiselin, Peter Godfrey-Smith, David Haig, David Queller, Laurent Lehmann, Samir Okasha, Peter Richerson, Joan Roughgarden, Elliot Sober, David Van Dyken, Mattijs van Veelen and Edward O.

    Evolution, Mind and Behaviour 13(2015), 53–55 DOI: 10.1556/2050.2015.0005 ALTRUISM FOUND: DAVID SLOAN WILSON’S MULTILEVEL EXPLANATION A review of Does Altruism Exist? Culture, Genes, and the Welfare of Others by David Sloan Wilson. New Haven: Yale University Press (2015). 180 pages. ISBN 978-0-300-18949-0 (hbk). 1 2 JOSEPH J. AVERY AND ELEANOR MUSE 1Charlottesville, VA USA 2New York University, New York, NY USA In Does Altruism Exist? Culture, Genes, and the Welfare of Others, David Sloan Wilson, Distinguished Professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropol- ogy at Binghamton University, takes up the debate concerning multilevel natu- ral selection. Biologists usually explain evolution of traits and behaviors by re- course to natural selection at the level of genes. Multilevel selection, of which Wilson is a proponent, posits natural selection not just at the level of genes, but at the level of organisms, populations, species, and so on. According to Wilson, the ‘central problem of sociobiology’ (p. 21) is how to explain the evolution of group-level functional organization on the basis of natural selection, given that natural selection within groups tends to undermine group-level functionality. If selfish organisms outcompete altruists, why do any altruists remain? Wilson vacillates between different definitions of altruism. He begins with one shorn of cost considerations: ‘Altruism is a concern for the welfare of oth- ers as an end in itself’ (p. 3). At other points, he includes cost: ‘When Ted bene- fits Martha at a cost to himself, that’s altruistic, regardless of how he thinks or feels about it’ (p.
