Although both a "simple dyad or a population of thousands" are groups, these are, respectively, face-to-face embodied groups and collective symbolic groups. We applaud Smaldino for recognizing and describing the concept of the group-level trait. As an expansion, we propose an evolutionary-developmental model of face-to-face groups that scaffolds theorizing the evolution of cultural group-level traits.
虽然“一个简单的二元组或数千人的群体”都是群体，但它们分别是面对面的具体群体和集体象征性群体。我们赞赏 Smaldino 承认并描述了群体层面特征的概念。作为扩展，我们提出了一个面对面群体的进化发展模型，为理论化文化群体层面特征的进化提供了基础。
