| contents | An evolutionary success story: The ascent of the urban ape Greg Woolf Comunicación Cities Holocene state formation social evolution Urbanistic projects have dominated the last six thousand years of our species’ history, appearing independently on all the inhabited continents. The majority of the population already live in cities and the trend seems to be increasing. An evolutionary approach entails explaining first what factors first made urban experiments possible in the late Holocene, and then what selective pressures made urban forms of social organization more successful than their alternatives. A range of factors, some environmental and some emerging from the characteristic of the human animal, explain the possibility of urbanism. Among reasons for the comparative advantage displayed by cities, it is argued that state formation and urbanization have tended to form synergistic relationships, the success of each facilitating the success of the other. 2023 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511774539012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539012/511774539012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5117/511774539012/movil https://doi.org/10.7203.metode.13.21713 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.13 |
