The Ongoing Emergence of Human Nature
Political sociology of the trajectories of early civilizational development
This article aims to identify the factors and mechanisms that underlie the formation of different types of political systems during the earliest stage of civilizational development. During this stage, barbarian societies (e.g., tribes, chiefdoms, temple and craft centers, military coalitions, and the first trade hubs and networks) began to acquire key characteristics of civilizations, such as urban culture, features of statehood, and writing. The…
Development of Institutions of the Legal World Order in the Context of Social Evolution
This article examines the profound crisis of the contemporary world order, which is characterized by high turbulence, mutual distrust, and the erosion of international law. Rejecting utopian “one-time establishment” and optimistic “natural evolution” scenarios, the analysis posits “natural-artificial evolution” as the only viable path toward a future “legal world order”. This envisioned order is defined minimally as a system in which major powers…
Where, When, and Why Hominins Became Human
The paper is devoted to an important stage of human evolution: the “African springboard” to sapientation, which occurred between 350 and 70 kya. This stage formed the social, cognitive, and creative potential that led to the Upper Palaeolithic Revolution in Western Eurasia. During this period, African hominins, descendants of Heidelbergians, underwent a series of aromorphoses that led to the acquisition of traits that further accelerated their ev…
Rubicon of Sapientation
The article is devoted to the traditional philosophical problem of the essence of man, but an approach to its solution through the reconstruction of the origin of the main distinctive features is chosen. The attention is focused not on the boundary, which somewhere and once hominins from the genus Homo (protosapiens) crossed in their evolution, becoming full-fl edged Homo sapiens. This boundary is called the “Rubicon of sapientation”, and sapient…
Regularities of Wars in the Context of Social Evolution
The article discusses and explains multiple empirical generalizations related to the origins and dynamics of wars of different types made by prominent political scientists and historical sociologists. The generalizations concern the peculiarities of the pre-war periods, which were characterized by escalating conflict rhetoric and mutual provocations. The territorial basis of many military conflicts is examined. Traditional feuds with a series of …
The variable understanding of humor and its role in sociocultural evolution
The article identifies essential features characteristic of different stages of development and types of humor, and discusses the role of humor in historical changes, social and cultural evolution. Humor gets external definitions and criteria that allow to distinguish two stages of proto-humor, and the criterion of full-fledged humor is set. The classical theories of humor (superiority, relief, and incongruity) and main modern theories (benign …
The State as a Socio-Evolutionary Response to the Challenges of the Scale of Control and the Continuity Gap
The article is an experience of theoretical reconstruction of the origin of the state as a natural phenomenon of evolution in general and social evolution in particular, under the formation of necessary and sufficient conditions. The analysis of R. Carneiro's criticism of M. Weber's classical definition, as well as the discussion of M. Berent's original concept of the non-state status of the ancient Greek polis, allow to formulate a new synthetic…
Is legal self-restraint of western hegemony possible? (Socio-Evolutionary Reflections)
The article is a reasoning conducted in the logic of a mental experiment. As an initial premise, we take the bold ideas of Immanuel Kant and Count Leonid A. Kamarovskii about the future establishment of “lawfulness” (the rule of law) not only within societies, but also between states, when conflicts are resolved by an international court backed by the solidarity of great powers. An effective rule of law in global geopolitics requires the followin…
Crises of Modernization in the 1990s in the Context of Historical Cycles in Russia
The article compares the reckless socio-political dynamics in Russia in the 1990s, manifested in a series of crises and turning events, with the concept of mechanisms of the Russian historical cycles. The paper lists the main stages of dynamics — complexes of interrelated events that change the balance of power, structural conditions and the direction of subsequent processes. The author also lists the main actors and social groups involved in the…
The Ideal of a Legal World Order
The article discusses one of the possible trajectories of global development leading to humane orders through the growth of authority and influence of international law and international courts. The well-known aggravation of conflict in the first decades of the current century has already led to polarization, the logical conclusion of which could be a new period of the Cold War. Two camps are being formed again, each of them including several cen…
Information-Mental and Socio-Evolutionary Contexts of the Dynamics of War and Peace
The fi rst decades of the XXI century are marked by processes of turbulence, multiple tensions and dramatic events. In this context, the issues of geopolitics, war and peace play a particularly signifi cant role. On the basis of synthesis and clarifi cation of fundamental concepts and principles of social anthropology, psychology, sociology, political sciences, we present a holistic dynamic model of factors of emergence, escalation and terminatio…
Causes of Wars and Their Role in Social Evolution
The article presents a systemic and historical view of wars taking into account the generalization of modern concepts about their nature and causes. The generalization is produced on the basis of a political and sociological apparatus with such basic concepts as: "concerns" of different types (including "interests", "motives", "goals", "values"), an extension of the challenge-response scheme (A. Toynbee), positive and negative "reinforcement" (Th…
Stages of anthropogenesis - a working model to explain sapient shifts
Causes of Mass Mutual Violence
Two definitions of war are critically examined: one classical and one modern. We show that the features emphasized in them are not necessary and sufficient. These shortcomings have been overcome in the previously proposed definition of war as ongoing mass mutual armed organized violence. A wide range of studies of the nature and causes of wars is characterized by heterogeneity of approaches, concepts, theories and levels of analysis. The ways of …
The Growth of Organized Violence Structures and the Types of Control Over Them
Macro-historical changes in the practices and structures of organized violence have their own regularities that require theoretical analysis. It is shown that the steady growth and development of these structures are determined by the main trends of social evolution such as demographic growth, the expansion and complication of polities, and the development of technologies and weapons. The internal mechanisms of both the cyclicality and the direct…
Why Did Our Ancestors Need Syntax? Social Orders and Communication Concerns of (Proto)Sapiens
Objective. Explanation of the late stages of glottogenesis (ordering of an utterance parts, the formation of full-fledged words from protowords, the appearance of the first syntax and grammar constructions) by means of theoretical reconstruction of social orders, challenges, communicative concerns, and practices of late erectus (proto-sapiens and early sapiens) based on indirect data, general laws of social psychology, individual and group behavi…
Nomological Explanation of the Formation of Social Norms in Anthropogenesis
The paper is devoted to conditions for the appearance of the first social norms (rules of behavior, including prescriptions and prohibitions) in the groups of early hominids, presumably by 3—2.5 million years ago. The author uses theoretical ideas about objective group concerns and the structures that support them, about normativity as a multi-component social phenomenon, about the ritual mechanism of attitudes formation, about interiorization, a…
Formation of speech and consciousness in anthropogenesis
The work is aimed at the theoretical reconstruction of the genesis of articulate speech and main abilities of consciousness based on evolutionary regularities and socio-psychological mechanisms. The basic concepts of the conceptual apparatus of reconstruction are presented: “abilities”, “attitudes”, “interiorization”, “interactive ritual”, “niches”, “social orders”, group and individual “concerns”, “communicative concerns”, “supporting structures…
Overcoming “The Language Rubicon
The most plausible hypotheses explaining the breakthrough of our distant ancestors to articulate speech and consciousness include: rituals of solidarity (singing, grooming, facial expressions, gestures), the role of "labor", teaching children, changes in gender relations, recruiting (mobilization for collective action), laryngeal transformation, brain growth, mirror neurons, neuronal overlap; dominance of coalitions over loners, self-domesticatio…

Nomological Explanation in Historical Sociology (the Case of Genesis and Flowering of Italian Humanism)
High School Crisis or Stagnation? From Humanitarian Metaphors and Journalism towards Weberian Political Sociology
This is a response to the article by P.A. Orekhovsky and V.I. Razumov, “The Carnival Time: Russian Higher School and Science in the Postmodern Era”. Treatment of the negative phenomena of modern higher education in Russia using such humanitarian metaphors as “carnival”, “postmodern”, “the society of spectacle” is not productive, as well as journalistic invectives such as “spiritual prostitution”. The Weberian paradigm of political sociology as mo…

An Apologia for Theoretical History
Karl Popper's critique of theoretical history remains formidable but contains serious flaws. Popper held erroneous views about the practice of the natural sciences and created overly severe strictures for theoretical statements in the social sciences. General theory and general theoretical statements play a legitimate role in the social sciences. Merton has promoted middle-range theories and models and Lakatos multiple ontologies. One can answer …

The Cyclic Character of Russian Political History as a Disease
Статья посвящена выявлению и анализу того внутреннего механизма, который порождает зафиксированную многими исследователями цикличность социально-политической истории России. Рассмотрев инвариантные «такты» динамики изменений российского общества на протяжении последних 200 лет, автор приходит к заключению, что обусловливающий их механизм имеет тройственную природу (установки сознания и поведения, культурные символы и социальные структуры) и три о…
The Nature of «Russian power»
Исследования доверия институтам нередко приводят к выводам о том, что интегральная удовлетворенность функционированием институтов и услугами, оказываемыми организациями современного сервисного государства, зачастую не обнаруживает связи с уровнем доверия правительству и другим политическим институтам.В отличие от такого рода удовлетворенности, связанной с инструментальными аспектами институтов государства, удовлетворенность работой политических и…
Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geoculture
The article considers ways to integrate dynamic models of basic spheres of international interactions—geopolitics, geoeconomics, and geoculture—for the purpose of applying them to Russia's history and to the present situation. It demonstrates the complex dynamics of geocultural influences, which depend on the internal alignment of political forces and centers of symbolic production, as well as on the rhythms and waves of universal and local ideol…
The legitimacy of postrevolutionary power
Social political crises and revolutions become more frequent in the new period of global turbulence. All revolutionary powers and regimes sooner or late meet the problem of legitimacy. The classical Weber’s division of legitimacy is insufficient, and a new typology of legitimacy is suggested on the basis of evaluating agent (the popular legitimacy, the legitimacy of coercive force, the authoritative legitimacy, the international legitimacy) and o…

Provincialism”, “Indigenity”, and Factors of Intellectual “Capitalness” in Social Perception
“Provincial”, “indigenous” and “capital” sciences (according to terms used by M. Sokolov and K. Titaev) are compared with each other in terms of their audibility to the world’s scientific community and their intellectual mobility. The appeal of scientists’ workplaces and living space is revealed as three types of comfort: life sustenance comfort, social comfort and spiritual comfort. The recognition of their scholarship and personal reputation fo…

Coevolution of Three Orders – an Explanation of Russian Cycles Dynamics
На основе синтеза классических и современных социологических концептов предложена модель коэволюции трех порядков: функционального (предметы заботы, обеспечивающие их структуры, сопутствующие издержки и напряжения), социального (взаимодействия, практики, отношения, организации, социальные структуры и институты) и ментального (пять типов установок и габитусы как их комплексы). Стабильная фигурация является относительно сбалансированным их сочетани…
