Extending the behavioral sciences framework: Clarification of methods, predictions, and concepts
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 30 (1):36-37 (2007)
| Abstract | We applaud Gintis's attempt to provide an evolutionary-based framework for the behavioral sciences, and note a number of similarities with our own recent cultural evolutionary structure for the social sciences. Gintis's proposal would be further strengthened by a greater emphasis on additional methods to evolutionary game theory, clearer empirical predictions, and a broader consideration of cultural transmission.
