Zusammenfassung

In diesem Aufsatz behandeln wir ausschnitthaft drei Zugriffe auf den Forschungsgegenstand der sozialen Kohäsion, wie sie typischerweise in der Evolutionären Anthropologie eine Rolle spielen. Mit ihrem Blick auf die Bedeutung der evolvierten Natur des Menschen für die soziale Praxis von Homo sapiens ist zunächst eine naturgeschichtliche Betrachtung lehrreich, denn sie führt uns vor Augen, dass viele soziale Kohäsionsmechanismen vormenschlichen Ursprungs sind. Die evolutionäre Spieltheorie liefert das theoretische Rüstzeug zur Vermessung des Möglichkeitsrahmens, in dem soziale Kohäsion gelingen kann. Damit wird die Frage beantwortbar, was aus evolutionstheoretischer Sicht an sozialer Kohäsion möglich ist und was nicht. In der evolutionären Kulturanthropologie schließlich geht es wesentlich um ein Verständnis dessen, wie einzelne Kulturen die menschliche Natur jeweils für ihren Zusammenhalt nutzen und was eine evolvierte Normenpsychologie damit zu tun hat.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Wir formulieren hier im „ethnologischen Präsens“, auch wenn manche Sachverhalte aufgrund des rapiden Kulturwandels im sich modernisierenden Malaysia nicht mehr die heutigen Lebensverhältnisse beschreiben.
