The Evolution of Social Structure: Why Biology Matters
运用社会生物学和进化心理学的观点,结合社会生态学与动物行为学的研究,将社会结构与资源环境特征联系起来,为组织科学解释社会行为和社会结构提供了新视角。
Sociobiologists and evolutionary psychologists believe that much about behavior has deep evolutionary roots. We employ this emerging paradigm about the origins of human nature to explain social behavior and emergent social structures. Using the work of socioecologists and ethologists, we connect these social structures with features of the resource context. Although still controversial, using biological evolution to help explain (social) behaviors holds significant potential for advancing the organizational sciences.
