近日，我院高畅（augustin holl）教授撰写的专著《流动势在必行：人类迁徙的全球进化视角》（the mobility imperative: a global evolutionary perspective of human migrations）在列克星敦出版社（lexington books）出版。
《流动势在必行：人类迁徙的全球进化视角》一书探讨了流动性作为人类生物和文化进化的根本驱动力的长期进化影响。本书基于拓展进化综合原理（ees）的简约全面模型sarfe（s：物种形成；ar：适应性辐射；fe：创始人效应），对五个案例进行精心设计和测试。这五个案例包括人类的起源与扩张，牛的驯化和牛结核病的扩散，南岛语、班图语、乍得语使用者的起源与扩张。该模型被证明足够强大，可以解决诸如宗教甚至时尚等主题的涌现与扩散。
abstract
the book “the mobility imperative: a global evolutionary perspective of human migrations” addresses the long-term evolutionary implications of mobility as a foundational driving force of human biological and cultural evolution. a parsimonious but comprehensive model, sarfe (s - speciation; ar - adaptive radiation; fe - founder effect) based on extended evolutionary synthesis (ees) rationales is crafted and tested with 5 case studies ranging from humans origins and expansion to cattle domestication and expansion of bovine tuberculosis, including the origin and expansion of speakers of austronesian, bantu, and chadic languages. the model is shown to be robust enough to address such topics as the emergence and expansion of religions and even fashion.
