The New Evolutionary Sociology offers a comprehensive review of the history of evolutionary analysis in sociology that demonstrates its present value ‘once old biases and prejudices are mitigated and, eventually, eliminated’ (p. 14). In the book’s first part, the authors highlight the prominence of evolution in the theorizing of sociology’s founders and the reaction against this approach when it was used to support ethnocentrism, racism, and fascism. The second part describes non-sociologists’ attempts to reconnect evolutionary biology and social science through sociobiology and evolutionary psychology. The book’s last part presents new evolutionary approaches within sociology, focusing primarily on comparative research with primates and a neurosociological explanation of the evolution of the human brain.

社会学和进化生物学:混乱的过去,充满希望的未来

新进化社会学对社会学中进化分析的历史进行了全面回顾,证明了它的现值“一旦旧的偏见和偏见被减轻并最终被消除”(第 14 页)。在这本书的第一部分,作者强调了进化论在社会学创始人的理论化中的突出地位,以及当这种方法被用来支持种族中心主义、种族主义和法西斯主义时,人们对这种方法的反应。第二部分描述了非社会学家试图通过社会生物学和进化心理学重新连接进化生物学和社会科学。本书的最后一部分介绍了社会学中的新进化方法,主要侧重于与灵长类动物的比较研究以及对人类大脑进化的神经社会学解释。
