Feedback, group-level processes, and systems approaches in human evolution

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

An explicit role for emergent group-level traits, social role diversification, and coordination makes good sense when thinking about human evolution. To most effectively understand these and other facets, we need to move toward an integrative model that assumes niche construction and encompasses positive feedback systems at individual, subgroup and larger group levels, demographic processes, and local ecologies.
