ABSTRACT
For computationally oriented readers, the most interesting part of this book is still to come. After the short march through our long history, in previous chapters, I will flesh out a model of collective action that builds on the discussions of violence (p. 70) and protest groups (p. 94), and incorporate the 5r-package (Chapter 3). Subsequently, I explicate the three-step model of cultural evolution. I formalize it at the micro level, which complements the macro-level original (Thurner, Hanel, and Klimek 2018), 1 and generalize it to culture-gene coevolution. I start with short treatments of social influence, polarization, social cohesion, and power. Notwithstanding some notational inheritance, the (sub) sections can be read in any order.
