human cultural niche construction and the social sciences  

Definition(s)

  • Niche construction theory (NCT) is a novel theoretical perspective in evolutionary biology that has challenged the hitherto dominant, one-sided view of Neo-Darwinian evolution, with gene-driven evolution as the sole protagonist. NCT posits an alternative paradigm to human sociobiology or evolutionary psychology.
