Classical theories of population growth and inter-species relations are briefly reviewed. It is shown how variations in feeding habits, reproductive patterns, and other aspects of population behaviour have required modifications of the basic theory in order to make it applicable to particular species. The role of the environment in population theory is also discussed, and this opens the way to a consideration of theoretical aspects of the ecology of natural populations. The latter are admittedly too complex to encourage the application of theory in its purest and most complete form. Practical attempts along these lines have simplified the problem by dealing with ecological groups—phytoplankton, zooplankton, etc.—rather than individual species. A review is presented of the methods, aims, and results of theoretical ecological investigations of the last few years. The significance of such work with respect to higher members of the food chain is discussed, and the paper concludes with remarks on some of the unsolved problems of theoretical analysis.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
