From Apes to Academics: A Bridge Under Construction
回应John M. Usher对作者关于社会结构演化文章的评论，讨论社会演化理论的现象驱动性、决定论倾向及结论局限性。
The article presents a response to comments made by John M. Usher in regards to the authors' article “The Evolution of Social Structure: Why Biology Matters.” The authors address three of the points made in Usher's commentary, including the disagreement against the phenomenon-driven nature of socioevolutionary theory, Usher's statement that the undertones of the research presented were deterministic, and his ultimate disregard for socioevolutionary theory because he feels that it is limited to assumed conclusions.
