2.Identifying the Unit of Evolution: The question asks for the level at which evolution occurs. The key term here is "unit of evolution," which refers to the basic level at which evolutionary changes can be observed. 3.Role of Populations: Evolution occurs within populations, which are groups...
This technological evolution is reshaping human interactions and business practices, potentially ushering in a fourth industrial revolution (Lu 2021). Unlike traditional growth drivers such as physical capital and labor, AI has the capacity to redefine work and production processes fundamentally (Acemoglu ...
selection at level of geneNatural selection is an important force that shapes the evolution of all living things by determining which individuals contribute the most descendents to future generations. The biological unit upon which selection acts has been the subject of serious debate, with reasonable...

It is necessary to assess the reliability of the measurement instrument. Each item’s factor loading (λ) did therefore evaluate the individual reliability of each item (λ > 0.707). This condition indicates that the shared variance between an item and its construct is greater than the erro...
The macro-level refers to the economic, physical and political structures that organise the society as a whole. The meso-level refers to the norms, values and paradigms that constitute sectoral cultures. Finally, the micro-level refers to the patterns of behaviour on the ground (Geels and ...
Natural seection is the process by which evolution occurs. It assumes that in a population competing for resources, some individuals will have traits that are more suited to survival when compared to others, and so will have a better chance of passing on...
Fig. 1. The evolution of the US earnings distribution. Both figures show a sizable increase in earnings inequality over time. In panel (a), the increase is manifested in the fanning out of the percentile lines, while in panel (b) it is captured by the increasing trend in both ratios. ...
At the individual level, religion is shown to be a more important part of daily life for Muslims than for Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and the religiously unaffiliated, in this decreasing order of importance. Females and older people are more religious, while higher education and higher...
But there is at least one intuition in this literature, that has –bibliometrically if not scientifically– survived previous discussions: natural selection should have led to the evolution of a reaction norm whereby individuals adapt their life history to the level of extrinsic mortality they ...
