A study and analysis on the simultaneous evolution of gene-culture and the nature of human sociality

Because of the importance of culture and complex social organization in the evolutionary success of intelligent man, individual fitness in man depends on the structure of social life. Because culture is both limited and enhanced by the human genome, human cognitive, emotional, and moral capacities are the product of an evolutionary dynamic that involves the interaction of genes and culture. We call this gene-culture dynamic coevolution. This evolutionary process has endowed us with preferences that go beyond the self-serving concerns emphasized in traditional economic and biological theories, and with a social epistemology that facilitates the sharing of intentions among minds. Sociocultural evolution, "sociocultural evolution" or "cultural evolution" are social and cultural theories that describe how societies and culture change over time. While "socio-cultural development" follows processes that tend to increase the complexity of a society or culture, socio-cultural evolution considers a process that can lead to a decrease in complexity (degeneration) or can achieve diversity or pluralism without make no apparent significant change in complexity. (cladogenesis). Socio-cultural evolution is "a process by which structural reorganization is effected over time, eventually producing a form or structure that is qualitatively different from the ancestral form". Most of the ۱۹th century and some of the ۲۰th century approaches to social culture presented models for human evolution in general, arguing that different societies have reached different stages of social development. The most comprehensive attempt to develop a general theory of social evolution focusing on the development of sociocultural systems, the work of Talcott Parsons (۱۹۰۲–۱۹۷۹), operated on a scale that included a theory of world history. Another effort, on a less systematic scale, began in the ۱۹۷۰s with the world systems theory approach of Immanuel Wallerstein (۱۹۳۰-۲۰۱۹) and his followers. More recent approaches focus on the specific changes of individual societies and reject the idea that cultures differ primarily based on how far each of them has progressed on an assumed linear scale of social progress.
