Abstract(s)
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.
