Evolutionary Logic in Law and Culture | Analysis

The article analyzes the concept of evolutionary jurisprudence, treating law not as a set of abstract norms, but as a technology of behavioral intervention. The author argues that legal and social systems often fail because they ignore the biological infrastructure of the human brain shaped by millions of years of natural selection. Instead of fighting human nature, the law should recognize evolutionary mechanisms and build institutions capable of effectively redirecting human predispositions. Using the metaphor of the 'Factory of Life,' the text emphasizes that natural selection is an impersonal process of selection that teaches us humility in system design: every solution carries a cost, and ignoring biological limitations leads to the costly errors of modernity.
