Moghaddam’s ‘Catastrophic Evolution, Culture and Diversity Management Policy’ is a timely commentary on the bio-cultural implications of the ongoing process of globalization. In my commentary, his thesis is reframed within a conceptual apparatus of Universal Darwinism, a view of bio-cultural evolution that takes for granted the importance of both genetic and cultural transmission of information in Homo sapiens. Although Moghaddam’s thesis can be couched in Universal Darwinian terms, it also exposes some limitations of the current models of Universal Darwinism
