To explain becoming human, becoming a member of a culture and society, and becoming a unique human being calls upon diverse theoretical resources in the biological and social sciences. To integrate such diverse concepts requires the umbrella of evolutionary theory, which alone can encompass so many levels of analysis. I present an elaboration of the theory sketched in my presidential address to SRCD in the hope that a more thorough understanding of the theoretical framework and the implications of cultural and biological diversity will enrich and enliven developmental research. Debates with colleagues of different persuasions are always welcome and often fruitful.
要解释人类的形成、成为一种文化和社会的一员以及成为一个独特的个体，需要借助生物科学和社会科学中的各种理论资源。整合这些不同的概念需要进化理论这一框架，因为只有它能够涵盖如此多的分析层面。我将详细阐述我在向社会研究儿童发展协会发表的主席演讲中勾勒的理论，希望对这一理论框架以及文化和生物多样性的影响有更透彻的理解，能够丰富和活跃发展研究。欢迎与持有不同观点的同事进行辩论，而且这样的辩论往往富有成效。
