  • Anthropogeny Tracks
    anthropogeny t acksa CARTA newsletter Volume 3, Issue 2 - May 2015 Human-Climate Interactions HUMAN-CLIMATE and Evolution: Past and INTERACTIONS AND EVOLUTION: Future PAST AND FUTURE Our early ancestors evolved on a drying, cooling, and highly variable planet, which has led to competing ideas as to how climate may have shaped human evolution. Equally compelling is the question of how and when humans began to affect their surroundings to such an extent as to become a force of climate change, with disruptions affecting the globe today. According to earth scientists, paleontologists, and scholars in other fields, the planet has entered a new geological phase – the Anthropocene, the age of humans. How did this transition of our species from an ape-like ancestor in Africa to the current planetary force occur? What are the prospects for the future of world climate, ecosystems, and our species? CARTA’s May 15, 2015 symposium, Human-Climate Interactions and Evolution: Past and Future, presents varied perspectives on these critical questions from earth scientists, ecologists, and paleoanthropologists. The fantastic lineup of speakers includes: This CARTA symposium is made possible by The G. Harold and African Climate Change and Human Evolution Leila Y.

Intrigued by Robinson and Southgate’s 2010 work on “entering a semiotic matrix,” we expand their model to include the juxtaposition of all signs, symbols, and mental categories, and to explore the underpinnings of creativity in science, religion, and art. We rely on an interdisciplinary review of human sentience in archaeology, evolutionary biology, the cognitive science of religion, and literature, and speculate on the development of sentience in response to strong selection pressure on the hominin evolutionary line, leaving us the “lone survivors” of complex, multiple lines of physical and cultural evolution.

[email protected] www.st-andrews.ac.uk/seal Abstract: We suggest that human culture exhibits key Darwinian evolutionary properties, and argue that the structure of a science of cultural evolution should share fundamental features with the structure of the science of biological evolution. This latter claim is tested by outlining the methods and approaches employed by the principal subdisciplines of evolutionary biology and assessing whether there is an existing or potential corresponding approach to the study of cultural evolution. Existing approaches within anthropology and archaeology demonstrate a good match with the macroevolutionary methods of systematics, paleobiology, and biogeography, whereas mathematical models derived from population genetics have been successfully developed to study cultural microevolution.

  • The Impact of Darwinism on Sociology
    Chapter 1, pp. 9-25, in Heinz-Juergen Niedenzu, Tamas Meleghy, and Peter Meyer, eds., The New Evolutionary Social Science: Human Nature, Social Behavior, and Social Change. Boulder, CO: Paradigm Publishers, 2008. THE IMPACT OF DARWINISM ON SOCIOLOGY An Historical and Critical Overview Stephen K. Sanderson INTRODUCTION What has been the relationship between the social sciences, sociology in particular, and Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection? In a famous statement, Darwin said that the theory of natural selection would “lead psychology to be based on a new foundation.” In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some social scientists followed Darwin’s lead. In his book In Search of Human Nature: The Decline and Revival of Darwinism in American Social Thought, the historian Carl Degler (1991) shows that at this early point in the development of the social sciences Darwinism was highly regarded by social scientists, and biology was considered a major underpinning of human behavior. In sociology, the lead was clearly taken in the most emphatic way by Edward Westermarck, a Finnish sociologist who became a major figure in both Finnish and British sociology. In the second volume of his three-volume The History of Human Marriage, Westermarck (1922b) developed the hypothesis on the origin of incest avoidance and exogamy for which he is today most famous, the “familiarity breeds indifference” theory. Westermarck argued that children brought up in close physical contact with each other in the early years of life would acquire a mutual sexual aversion, an emotion that had evolved by natural 9 10 Stephen K.
