Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is ripe to investigate similarities and differences in the course of social evolution in different animals. This book brings together renowned researchers working on sociality in different animals to deal with the key questions of sociobiology. For the first time, they compile the evidence for the importance of ecological factors in the evolution of social life, ranging from invertebrate to vertebrate social systems, and evaluate its importance versus that of relatedness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factors of Social Evolution The work which is here offered to the public is a discussion of one of the major problems of sociology. It represents an attempt at what has lately been called scientific synthesis. The materials and the considerations which it brings to gether extend far beyond the limits of any special discipline, as well as beyond the limits of any man's expert competence. It is not necessary to confess the hazards, or to insist upon the importance, of studies of this character. Ours is an age of specialists, and we are severe upon the errors of' one who lets his speculations range outside his proper field. But there are dangers also in the narrower view of things; and in the broader View there is always the possibility that an ob servation in one direction may compensate for confused per ception in another, and reason to hope that the larger contours may stand out with a new clearness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern world accepts economy as the base of society and the rest as "superstructure." This understanding of society leads to the substantial growth of wealth, but also to emerging of global problems, the polarisation of society, instability, nuclear threat moral degradation often referred as the decline of Western civilisation. The best way to resolve these problems is to see society from the different point of view. The New Paradigm of Social Evolution considers society as information and self-organising (living and reasonable) system that generates and transmits knowledge or metaphorically speaking as a "living organism." Hence, ideas and innovations move the world, and the economy is only a part of this process together with two other equally important subsystems of society - culture and form of governance. Changing standpoint for driving force from economy to knowledge represents a completely different picture of society as an interpretation of history, ongoing social processes and future organisation. This book is an attempt to describe and explain the new model of social development.

Book excerpt: Dispelling the general assumption that social institutions survive because of their sophisticated adaptive advantages, this ground-breaking work asserts that the commonest customs and institutions may endure because of their very simplicity or as a result of simple human proclivity. Using religious, military, and kinship institutions to illustrate this argument, the author shows that a precise combination of these factors may lead to the emergence of new forms of social evolution.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of the socialist governments in Eastern and Central Europe and the resulting political and economic reorganizations of the 1990s provided a dramatic illustration of the far-reaching effects of social change. For those interested in the health and well-being of youth, such instances of social upheaval raise the question of how young people are affected socially and psychologically by societal changes, and whether their development is compromised or enhanced. This important volume considers the processes through which societal changes exert an impact on the course of adolescent development and identify individual and contextual factors that can modify the impact of social change and enhance the likelihood of a successful transition to adulthood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Function of Socialization in Social Evolution: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Sociology) The factors in social evolution are reducible to three: geography, heredity, and socialization. Anthropogeographers have assembled the evidence for the influence upon man of his physical environment. Students in biology, and in ethnology and psychology as well, have stressed the importance in social progress of individual and racial characteristics, both organic and mental. The sociologist, on the other hand, has pointed out the limitations of these explanations of human development: first, because each tends to disregard the facts brought forward by the other, and secondly, because both ignore the part played by socialization. The thesis of this essay is that socialization, rather than either geography or heredity, is the dominant factor in social evolution. The evidence for this position is presented in the study of the factors involved in discovery and invention, in social progress, and in personal development. My obligations to those who have studied this problem are indicated only in part by the references in the text and the footnotes. To Albion W.Small I owe the stimulus to persevere to the completion of this work and the suggestion to select the history of the English people for the analysis of the role of socialization in social progress. The teaching and writings of William I. Thomas, George E. Vincent, Charles H. Cooley, George H. Mead, Charles A. Ellwood, and James R. Angell have been especially helpful in the development of the social psychological standpoint for the interpretation of the process of socialization. The delay between writing and publication is responsible for the absence of reference to Wallas' The Great Society and to Ellwood's The Social Problem. My greatest indebtedness is to my sister for her constant assistance in all parts of the preparation of this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a masterly theoretical treatment of one of the central problems in evolutionary biology, the evolution of social cooperation and conflict. Steven Frank tackles the problem with a highly original combination of approaches: game theory, classical models of natural selection, quantitative genetics, and kin selection. He unites these with the best of economic thought: a clear theory of model formation and comparative statics, the development of simple methods for analyzing complex problems, and notions of information and rationality. Using this unique, multidisciplinary approach, Frank makes major advances in understanding the foundations of social evolution. Frank begins by developing the three measures of value used in biology--marginal value, reproductive value, and kin selection. He then combines these measures into a coherent framework, providing the first unified analysis of social evolution in its full ecological and demographic context. Frank also extends the theory of kin selection by showing that relatedness has two distinct meanings. The first is a measure of information about social partners, with close affinity to theories of correlated equilibrium and Bayesian rationality in economic game theory. The second is a measure of the fidelity by which characters are transmitted to future generations--an extended notion of heritability. Throughout, Frank illustrates his methods with many examples, including a complete reformulation of the theory of sex allocation. The book also provides a unique "how-to" guide for constructing models of social behavior. It is essential reading for evolutionary biologists and for economists, mathematicians, and others interested in natural selection.
