Contemporary Cultural Evolutionism

Contextual Quote

Daniel Hoyer:

"Contemporary cultural evolutionists such as Robert Boyd, Peter Richerson, Richard Blanton, Lane Fargher, Gary Feinman, Joyce Marcus, and many of the authors who written for this journal (Cliodynamics) .To this latter group, sociocultural evolution is neither linear nor singular (nor always “beneficial”), but displays great diversity in trajectory and pressures leading to many different sorts of outcomes for different communities; precisely what Dawn of Everything chastises the field for failing to recognize."
