In the Princeton Guide to Evolution it talks about how not all evolution is the same. There are different types of evolution.  It says, “Evolutionary psychologists, for example, tend to regard human behavior and culture as the output of cognitive adaptations, and they assume that the most important mechanism producing such cognitive adaptations is natural selection acting on genetically inherited variation.” This is talking about the psychology part of evolution. We evolve as people not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. It also says, “Evolutionary psychologists acknowledge that changes in cultural environments can affect the behavioral outputs of cognitive adaptations, but they tend to downplay the role of nongenetic inheritance. As a consequence, they also tend to be skeptical of the thought that cultural change may affect and underpin the generation of cognitive adaptations themselves.”

My question is what do you think is the most important type of evolution? Do they all work together or is one more important?

How did the technology that is mature now develop before?

I wathced a movie, The Croods. It told 6 primitives in a family cooperated to hunt for survival. Finally, they alived in the end of the world after helping with each other. In nowadays, people live in high tech. They are so many workers’ results of hard working. The most successful hunters share out, subtly, the meat with all, strengthening their reciprocal bonds and distributing the burden of resource scarcity risks. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-018-0389-1 (Links to an external site.)

Like I will fly to my country today, there are different stuff in airport, some for checking baggage, some for security, some for clean environment. It can make me fly to my country comfortably and safely. The same example, archaeologist know men were responsible for hunt and women were responsible for collection by doing archeology.

So in my opinion, all Mature technologies now are the best evidences to prove human cooperation, because it needs to spend a long time to develop. Our Late Pleistocene ancestors inhabited the large-mammal-rich African savannah and other environments in which cooperation in acquiring and sharing food yielded substantial benefits at relatively low cost. The slow human life-history with prolonged periods of dependency of the young also made the cooperation of non-kin in child rearing and provisioning beneficial. In the course of our subsequent history we created novel social and physical environments exhibiting similar, or even greater, benefits of cooperation, among them the division of labor coordinated by market exchange and respect of rights of property, systems of production characterized by increasing returns to scale (irrigated agriculture, modern industry, information systems with network externalities), and warfare. https://evolution-institute.org/focus-article/the-evolution-of-human-cooperation/
