do creationists believe in social evolution?

Question

Social evolution is a sub discipline of evolutionary biology that is concerned with social behaviours, i.e. those that have fitness consequences for individuals other than the actor. Social behaviours can be categorized according to the fitness consequences they entail for the actor and recipient.

Mutually beneficial - a behaviour that increases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipient
Selfish - a behaviour that increases the direct fitness of the actor, but the recipient suffers a loss
Altruistic - a behaviour that increases the direct fitness of the recipient, but the actor suffers a loss
Spiteful - a behaviour that decreases the direct fitness of both the actor and the recipient
This classification was proposed by W. D. Hamilton. He proposes that natural selection favours mutually beneficial or selfish behaviours. Hamilton's insight was to show how kin selection could explain altruism and spite.

Social evolution is also often regarded (especially, in the field of social anthropology) as evolution of social systems and structures

Answer 1

No, only in "Godditit", Rev!

Answer 2

What are you trying to impress someone? Most Christians have no problem with evolution, as far as natural selection goes. The problem arises with the portion of Darwin's theory (which he later disavowed) which says a lower life form, can evolve into a higher, more complex life form. You have to understand at least that to have an appropiate debate on the matter.

Answer 3

I don't. We have no reason to assume the first humans weren't fully functioning social beings just like we are today. Except that for some reason, modernists think they're smarter.

Answer 4

Yes. Since we threw out the laws of God our societies are evolving back into the ancient wild apes we evolved from.
