Cultural and Biological Evolution

چکیده
Abstract Although there is no necessary relation between “big data” and “monism”—the program of reducing cultural mental processes to computational biological principles—both these programs reject a dualism res extensa cogitans. Opposing this philosophy science, I have argued in the above chapter that second contingency possible relations expectations feeds back on manifest relations. This cannot be studied from natural-science or life-sciences perspective, but proper domain social sciences, where focus what things mean as different they are. Next-order selection mechanisms can take evolutionary control. The complexity communication evolves against arrow time terms interacting codes, which generate redundancies therefore new options. As human beings, we follow potentially unintended consequences dynamics reflexively. Both consciousness are self-organizing thus resilient steering.

Niche construction, biological evolution, and cultural change.
We propose a conceptual model that maps the causal pathways relating biological evolution to cultural change. It builds on conventional evolutionary theory by placing emphasis on the capacity of organisms to modify sources of natural selection in their environment (niche construction) and by broadening the evolutionary dynamic to incorporate ontogenetic and cultural processes. In this model, ph...
متن کاملCultural and Biological Evolution of Phonemic Speech
This paper investigates the interaction between cultural evolution and biological evolution in the emergence of phonemic coding in speech. It is observed that our nearest relatives, the primates, use holistic utterances, whereas humans use phonemic utterances. It can therefore be argued that our last common ancestor used holistic utterances and that these must have evolved into phonemic utteran...
متن کاملFour analogies between biological and cultural/linguistic evolution.
The intricate phenomena of biology on the one hand, and language and culture on the other, have inspired many writers to draw analogies between these two evolutionary systems. These analogies can be divided into four principal types: species/language, organism/concept, genes/culture, and cell/person. Here, it is argued that the last analogy--between cells and persons--is the most profound in se...
متن کاملCultural commons and cultural evolution
Culture evolves following a process that is akin to biological evolution, although with some significant differences. At the same time culture has often a collective good value for human groups. This paper studies culture in an evolutionary perspective, with a focus on the implications of group definition for the coexistence of different cultures. A model of cultural evolution is presented wher...
متن کاملLearning bias, cultural evolution of language, and the biological evolution of the language faculty.
The biases of individual language learners act to determine the learnability and cultural stability of languages: learners come to the language learning task with biases which make certain linguistic systems easier to acquire than others. These biases are repeatedly applied during the process of language transmission, and consequently should effect the types of languages we see in human populat...
