Study on the possibility of the hierarchical thinking as an alternative to the gene-reductionistic one in the philosophy of biology

在过去的四年里，我一直沿着两个主题——“自然选择的单位”和“人类行为的适应主义解释”——进行研究，这两个主题都是从对基因还原论策略持批判态度的。特别是后一个问题，我曾多次向国际观众展示我对进化心理学方法论的批判性分析，称为“进化功能分析”。我唯一要做的就是把它发表在著名的国际期刊上，我将继续挑战下去。

I have conducted my research for the past four years along the two themes-the problems of ‘units of natural selection’ and ‘adaptationist explanations of human behavior’-from a standpoint critical of gene-reductionist strategies. Especially, as for the latter problem, I have had a number of occasions to present my critical analysis of the methodology of evolutionary psychology called ‘evolutionary functional analysis’ to the international audience. The only thing left for me to do is to publish it on prestigious international journals, which I will continue to challenge down the road.
