Article abstract

More and more work is being done on the relationships between biological and socialevolution. This essay brings some of this work together in the form of a workinghypothesis specifying an overall integrating relationship and specific relationships ofemergence, relay and degradation between these two types of evolution. Therelationship of degradation refers to the ecological crisis and to the necessity ofunderstanding and controlling the evolutionary process. This article demonstrates,by way of its lacks and gaps, the work that must be done to develop a unifiedunderstanding of evolution.
