Evolutionary theories have had a controversial history in the social sciences and humanities. Darwin was more zoologist than anthropologist. While the naturalistic approach he took toward humanity has been both popular and at the same time widely questioned, now the neo‐Darwinian paradigm in biology is also being openly challenged. Current work in evolution of human social behavior continues the naturalistic tradition in pursuing the emergence of niche construction and an “extended evolutionary synthesis.”
