"Creole languages lexified by Spanish and Portuguese have played a relatively small role in theories of creole genesis, and as a result the histories of vernaculars such as Palenquero, Papiamentu, Cape Verdean Creole, an...

There are at least three different genealogical accounts of morality: the ontogenetic, the sociohistorical, and the evolutionary. One can thus construct, in principle, three distinct genealogical debunking arguments of m...

Traditional static security assessments difficult to capture the dynamic strategic interactions and behavioral decision-making inherent in extreme nuclear security risks. To address this, we propose a tripartite evolutio...

The Modern Synthesis was not widely adopted by paleoanthropologists until the 1950s, but the perception has been that this event had important theoretical and methodological consequences for the study of hominid evolutio...

Abstract This study investigates the diffusion of new energy technology among the water sightseeing transportation industry driven by the low-carbon behavior of tourists, particularly focusing on the influential role of ...

This is the first part of a special issue on niche construction, plasticity, and inclusive inheritance in the context of the extended evolutionary synthesis. In this part there are seven contributions: Benitez, R.A., M...

The purpose of this paper is to highlight some major theoretical concepts, related to the notion of the knowledge-based economy, and to analyze EU policies, aimed at strengthening R&D potential and technologies commercia...

A antiga aproximação da economia à evolução darwiniana tem recebido propostas mais acabadas recentemente, destacando-se, de um lado, o "darwinismo universal" (Hodgson) a cuja metateoria a economia deveria sujeitar-s...

Development theory and practice need a new approach that, more than pointing out institutions to be improved, unveils the underlying mechanisms of path dependent processes of underdevelopment. This paper presents insight...

Niche construction theory has increasingly received attention in paleoanthropology as a new focus for considering the evolutionary consequences of hominin tool-use and cultural adaptation starting in the Pleistocene. Mod...

Why has the EU, despite strong climate regulation, advanced manufacturers, and deep industrial finance, fallen behind China in the electric vehicle (EV) transition? This article challenges explanations that attribute Eur...

A contemporary theory holds that mathematical concepts are stored in the long-term memory of mathematicians. This perspective also proposes that the brain has evolved to possess basic “representations” of space, time...

Throughout history, our capacity to shed tears has attracted the attention of poets, writers, philosophers, and scholars. Moreover, humans' fascination with tears is evident in the significant roles they played in legend...

Abstract Converting customer needs into specific forms and providing consumers with services are crucial in product design. Currently, conversion is no longer difficult due to the development of modern technology, and va...

Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

Abstract Sign-based semantics and embodied semantics are argued to be mutually beneficial to one another. However, while the body does shape our cognitive activities to a great extent, this does not entail that cognition...

Ultra-massive white dwarfs are powerful tools used to study various physical processes in the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), type Ia supernova explosions, and the theory of crystallization through white dwarf asteroseism...

The questioning of the public and monopolistic production of European Union law is extremely little, if at all, addressed by European Union legal theory. The article proposes to divide the reasons for this absence into t...

The content of the paper is based on reactions that are stimulated by Alexandr Stich’s ideas in his study on the concept of language culture and its content. In his statements there is a hidden conviction about the nee...

In this paper, we chart an emerging academic terrain: cultural evolution of the arts, which is a theory-driven exploration of artistic dynamics, often done with large datasets of music, literature, movies, paintings, or ...
