WiSe 18/19: Social Order and Human Evolution
Harald Wenzel
Kommentar
This seminar will focus on the paleo-sociological aspects of social order: Social order already exists in the animal kingdom and the evolutionary transition from hominins/hominids to the homo sapiens may be seen as triggered by an increasing social complexity of life forms. Only recently paleontology and related disciplines have come up with new findings and insights which shed new light on the problem of social order – insights which have been widely neglected by sociology so far. They make a redefinition of theoretical core concepts like social tie/relationship, social network, social status, to mention only a few, an urgent task – the whole concept of the social might be questioned. Interestingly many of these findings interlock with results of the social and behavioral neurosciences. -----
