The interest in theoretical frameworks that improve our understanding of social-ecological systems is growing within the field of ethnobiology. Several evolutionary questions may underlie the relationships between people and the natural resources that are investigated in this field. A new branch of research, known as evolutionary ethnobiology (EE), focuses on these questions and has recently been formally conceptualized. The field of cultural evolution (CE) has significantly contributed to the development of this new field, and it has introduced the Darwinian concepts of variation, competition, and heredity to studies that focus on the dynamics of local knowledge. In this article, we introduce CE as an important theoretical framework for evolutionary ethnobiological research. We present the basic concepts and assumptions of CE, along with the adjustments that are necessary for its application in EE. We discuss different ethnobiological studies in the context of this new framework and the new opportunities for research that exist in this area. We also propose a dialog that includes our findings in the context of cultural evolution.
在民族生物学领域，人们对能够增进我们对社会-生态系统理解的理论框架的兴趣日益浓厚。该领域中所研究的人与自然资源之间的关系可能基于若干进化问题。一个被称为进化民族生物学（EE）的新研究分支专注于这些问题，并于近期得到了正式的概念化。文化进化（CE）领域极大地促进了这个新领域的发展，它将达尔文的变异、竞争和遗传等概念引入了以本地知识动态为重点的研究中。在本文中，我们将 CE 介绍为进化民族生物学研究的一个重要理论框架。我们呈现了 CE 的基本概念和假设，以及在 EE 中应用时所需的调整。我们根据这一新框架讨论了不同的民族生物学研究，以及该领域存在的新研究机会。我们还提出了一个对话，其中包括我们在文化进化背景下的研究结果。
