  2. Dual inheritance theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_inheritance_theory

    Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [1] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution.

  3. Evidence of common descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_of_common_descent

    For example, neutral human DNA sequences are approximately 1.2% divergent (based on substitutions) from those of their nearest genetic relative, the chimpanzee, 1.6% from gorillas, and 6.6% from baboons. [10] [11] Genetic sequence evidence thus allows inference and quantification of genetic relatedness between humans and other apes.

  4. Evolutionary developmental psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_developmental...

    EDP theory diverges from mainstream evolutionary psychology in both the degree of importance placed on the environment in influencing behavior, and in how evolution has shaped the development of human psychology. [5] Advocates of EDP assert that evolutionary psychologists, while acknowledging the role of the environment in shaping behavior and ...

  5. Evolutionary anthropology - Wikipedia

    paleoanthropology and paleontology of both human and non-human primates; primatology and primate ethology; the sociocultural evolution of human behavior, including phylogenetic approaches to historical linguistics; the cultural anthropology and sociology of humans; the archaeological study of human technology and of its changes over time and space

  6. Introduction to evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_evolution

    [4] [5] [6] Evolution does not attempt to explain the origin of life (covered instead by abiogenesis), but it does explain how early lifeforms evolved into the complex ecosystem that we see today. [7] Based on the similarities between all present-day organisms, all life on Earth is assumed to have originated through common descent from a last ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_evolution

    Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [22] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution.

  9. History of evolutionary thought - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_evolutionary...

    The gene-centred view of evolution rose to prominence in the 1960s, followed by the neutral theory of molecular evolution, sparking debates over adaptationism, the unit of selection, and the relative importance of genetic drift versus natural selection as causes of evolution. [2]
