Excellent. Interesting & intriguing. Well-narrated.

Culture is an evolutionary adaptation, not of individuals, but of groups. When the adaptation no longer provides survival value, culture is lost, although introduced change or mutation may allow it to evolve. What would causes the change? What would direct the evolution?In biological evolution, the changes/mutations are believed to occur randomly – only becoming adaptive if they provide survival value in a “particular environmentâ€. Results are not directed, the environment selects the result. Most change is not selected – not incorporated into the genome.In cultural evolution, the change doesn’t seem to be random, but caused by group forces within pre-existing cultures through transmitted beliefs (“informationâ€) – beliefs as means to directed “effects†– goals; i.e., better, fairer, healthier, more just, more free, more righteous, etc.).Why do only some of these beliefs result in evolved culture? Christakis’ position seems to be that some beliefs can not result in a survivable culture. I don’t know whether this is true – the possible environments of the universe for potential biological groups are too unimaginable for me to judge. Nevertheless, I do assume we live in a culture that has been adaptively successful. And a culture with emerging beliefs competing for transmission. How does one choose what to believe?Changes in current culture may been seen as consequences of groups coming to believe either:the goals are no longer acceptable (valued), orthe goals are not o.

another great book by Christakis. If you read and loved Connected as I did, you’ll find this book just as insightful and entertaining. Loved the section on shipwrecks. I’ve met the author in person and he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever spoken to.
Davide Capretta –
Really insightful book with really interesting information on who we are and how societies can function.

A must read

Received in good order and everything is good.
James E. Kreisle –
A rewarding and edifying read for those who are interested in genetics and the evolution of homo sapiens. The author picks up where Darwin left off and expands our understanding of the biological origins of social behavior and culture.

Listened to the audiobook, but just bought the paper version. This is one of 2019’s bumper crop of books by late career pioneers in the evolution, ethology, and psychology of distinctly human forms of social interaction (Michael Tomasello, Becoming Human; Richard Wrangham, The Goodness Paradox; Frans de Waal, Mama’s Last Hug; and EO Wilson, Genesis). Each is touching one part of the elephant, sometimes overlapping parts,. Each has a deep research base well situated in an interdisciplinary knowledge space, which is what you need to begin to grasp something as complex as human social behavior. What this book brings to the party is an extremely sophisticated analysis of how individual genetics can influence large scale social organization, and an exploration of the different evolutionary paths for different types of social interaction. Also, ingenious data sets, for example shipwreck survivors and their fates on isolated/foreign shores. Your time and attention in reading this book will not go unrewarded.
Farrell North –
A great book by an important thinker. His arguments regarding the genetic foundation of our decency and goodness is critically needed at this time in American History. With so much trying to splinter us, Christakis shows the basis of our unity. We should dummy up and pay attention to him.

After reading Frank Bruni’s article in the March 2019 New York Times titled “A ‘Disgusting’ Yale Professor Moves On,” and watching the disturbing video of students abusing that Yale Professor, I knew I had to learn what makes Nicholas Christakis tick: how could he possibly write a book about “The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society” after the emotional hazing he experienced at Yale? Blueprint has not disappointed. It was especially Chapter 11 titled “Genes and Culture” that elevated this book to “great” status in my mind. Christakis’s description of “cultural evolution” triggered thoughts and ideas that were so exciting I could barely sit still. He explains cultural evolution in terms of genetical evolution, the evolution of technology, world migrations and history, language, politics, and religion. This Chapter 11 alone will likely cause you to put down the book every few sentences, look into space, and just enjoy the new concepts, thoughts, and ideas that well up in your mind.
