A comprehensive understanding of human sociality needs to embrace the coevolution of genes and culture. Recent advances in biological research about niche construction by organisms, and the development of the concepts of social niche and ethodiversity, can be integrated into a common approach to understand this coevolution, which implies the interaction between sociology and ecology in an integrative framework of knowledge. In this paper the authors propose such inclusive biosociological and heuristic framework to improve the understanding of the evolution of social niche construction. In addition, it allows a better understanding of the concept of sociotype in non-human organisms and explains some aspects of the social or presocial behavior through the concept of ethodiversity.

对人类社会性的全面理解需要包含基因和文化的共同进化。关于生物体构建生态位的生物学研究的最新进展，以及社会生态位和民族多样性概念的发展，可以整合到理解这种共同进化的通用方法中，这意味着社会学和生态学在知识的综合框架中的相互作用。在本文中，作者提出了这种包容性的生物社会学和启发式框架，以提高对社会生态位构建演变的理解。此外，它可以更好地理解非人类有机体中社会类型的概念，并通过民族多样性的概念解释社会或前社会行为的某些方面。
