We agree that emergent group-level properties are important; however, we disagree that current approaches, especially culture-gene coevolutionary (CGC) approaches, have neglected them. We explain how CGC helps demystify the tumult of humans' group-level complexity by "starting at the start," and why (a) assuming undifferentiated individuals and (b) focusing on cooperation are actually powerful tools to this end.
我们同意紧急群体水平的特性很重要;然而,我们不同意当前的方法,特别是文化基因协同进化(CGC)方法忽视了它们。我们解释了 CGC 如何通过“从起点开始”帮助揭开人类群体复杂性的神秘面纱,以及为什么(a)假设无差异的个体和(b)专注于合作实际上是实现这一目标的有力工具。
