This paper investigates how reticulate evolution contributes to a better understanding of human sociocultural evolution in general, and community formation in particular. Reticulate evolution is evolution as it occurs by means of symbiosis, symbiogenesis, lateral gene transfer, infective heredity, and hybridization. From these mechanisms and processes, we mainly zoom in on symbiosis and we investigate how it underlies the rise of (1) human, plant, animal, and machine interactions typical of agriculture, animal husbandry, farming, and industrialization; (2) diet-microbiome relationships; and (3) host-virome and other pathogen interactions that underlie human health and disease. We demonstrate that reticulate evolution necessitates an understanding of behavioral and cultural evolution at a community level, where reticulate causal processes underlie the rise of synergistic organizational traits.
本文探讨了网状进化如何有助于更好地理解人类社会文化进化，特别是社区形成。网状进化是通过共生、共生起源、侧向基因转移、感染性遗传和杂交等方式发生的进化。从这些机制和过程中，我们主要关注共生，并研究它如何构成（1）人类、植物、动物和机器之间的相互作用，这些相互作用是农业、畜牧业、耕作和工业化的典型特征；（2）饮食微生物组关系；以及（3）宿主病毒组和其他病原体相互作用，这些相互作用是人类健康和疾病的基础。我们证明，网状进化需要在社区层面上理解行为和文化进化，其中网状因果过程是协同组织特征出现的基础。
