Evolution of Complex Hierarchical Societies
One of the greatest puzzles of human evolutionary history concerns the how and why of the transition from small-scale, ‘simple’ societies to large-scale, hierarchically complex ones. This paper reviews theoretical approaches to resolving this puzzle. Our discussion integrates ideas and concepts from evolutionary biology, anthropology, and political science. The evolutionary framework of multile...
متن کاملNetwork scaling reveals consistent fractal pattern in hierarchical mammalian societies.
Recent studies have demonstrated that human societies are hierarchically structured with a consistent scaling ratio across successive layers of the social network; each layer of the network is between three and four times the size of the preceding (smaller) grouping level. Here we show that similar relationships hold for four mammalian taxa living in multi-level social systems. For elephant (Lo...
متن کاملThe complexity and hierarchical structure of tasks in insect societies
To understand the functioning and organizational complexity of insect societies, a combination of different approaches is needed. One such approach, which we adopt in this study, is to consider tasks in insect societies not based upon their function, as is traditional, but upon their structure. Four types of task in insect societies have been proposed: individual, group, team and partitioned ta...
متن کاملDistributional Similarity, Phase Transitions and Hierarchical Clustering
We describe a method for automatically clustering words according to their distribution in particular syntactic contexts. Words are represented by the relative frequency distributions of contexts in which they appear, and relative entropy is used to measure the dissimilarity of those distributions. Clusters are represented by "typical" context distributions averaged from the given words accordi...
متن کاملCritical Computation, Phase Transitions, and Hierarchical Learning
A study of the various routes to chaos in dynamical systems reveals that significant computation occurs at the onset of chaos. At first blush this is not surprising since statistical mechanics views these as phase transitions with infinite temporal correlations. In computational terms processes that are in a critical state, like those at the onset of chaos considered here, have an infinite memo...
