Excellent- More about Multilevel Selection: Theoretical Foundations, Historical Examples, and Empirical Evidence
This book provides a novel evolutionary analysis of human group selection within a comprehensive overview of multilevel selection theory, examining historical events from a multilevel selectionist perspective to understand their implications for internal cohesion, external defense, and population demography. It advances the potential for interdisciplinary study and offers fresh insights for evolutionists and researchers across the social sciences and humanities.

This book offers a groundbreaking evolutionary analysis of human group selection, seamlessly integrating it with a comprehensive overview of multilevel selection theory. This theory posits that evolution occurs at both individual and collective levels, encompassing entities such as human families, tribes, states, and empires. While previous works on this subject have approached multilevel selection through various means, including logical reasoning, theoretical frameworks, experimental data, and a review of zoological literature, this book uniquely establishes the validity of human group selection as a historical evolutionary process within a multilevel selection framework.
To accomplish this, the authors examine select portions of the historical record from a multilevel selectionist perspective, shedding light on phenomena such as clashing civilizations, decline and fall, law, custom, war, genocide, racism, banishment, and more. By doing so, they aim to understand the implications of these events for internal cohesion, external defense, and population demography. Through their innovative approach, the authors pave the way for further interdisciplinary study, fostering the convergence of history and biology.
This book is not only of interest to evolutionists but also to researchers working across the social sciences and humanities. Its insights will provide fresh perspectives and offer valuable contributions to our understanding of human behavior and evolution.
