Wider application of these insights, however, has been hampered by traditional disciplinary boundaries. To remedy this, in this volume leading researchers from theoretical biology, developmental and cognitive psychology, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, history, and economics come together to explore the central role of cultural evolution in different aspects of human endeavor. The contributors take as their guiding principle the idea that cultural evolution can provide an important integrating function across the various disciplines of the human sciences, as organic evolution does for biology. The benefits of adopting a cultural evolutionary perspective are demonstrated by contributions on social systems, technology, language, and religion. Topics covered include enforcement of norms in human groups, the neuroscience of technology, language diversity, and prosociality and religion. The contributors evaluate current research on cultural evolution and consider its broader theoretical and practical implications, synthesizing past and ongoing work and sketching a roadmap for future cross-disciplinary efforts. 001412400 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001412400 650_0 $$aSocial evolution. 001412400 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xSocial aspects. 001412400 650_0 $$aHuman evolution$$xReligious aspects. 001412400 653__ $$aCOGNITIVE SCIENCES/General 001412400 653__ $$aBIOMEDICAL SCIENCES/Evolution 001412400 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001412400 7001_ $$aRicherson, Peter J.,$$eeditor. 001412400 7001_ $$aChristiansen, Morten H.,$$d1963-$$eeditor. 001412400 852__ $$bebk 001412400 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/9780262019750.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001412400 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001412400 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1412400$$pGLOBAL_SET 001412400 980__ $$aBIB 001412400 980__ $$aEBOOK 001412400 982__ $$aEbook 001412400 983__ $$aOnline
