• W2563152927 abstract "IntroductionThe idea that history can be evaluated from the standpoint of natural science is not readily accepted, for history itself is traditionally discussed from the viewpoints of the humanities and the social sciences.1-2 Yet is it not evident that human societies can be treated as adaptive units?3-5We can begin by asserting that group selection is a basic aspect of evolution.6 Many analyze human history through the lenses of such academic fields as the humanities, history, social sciences, and anthropology.7 But let us consider the principles of evolution. We can define civilization by extrapolating from human cultures8, 9 and cultures may be evaluated in relation to Darwinian adaptation.3-5 Some scholars have attempted to draw the characteristics of civilizations from the viewpoint of systems research2, 10, 11 and from the viewpoint of the interaction between society and nature.12I would like to draw your attention to the fact that an Eastern scientist attempted to explain the evaluation of history as a natural phenomenon more than half a century ago. Tadao Umesao proposed an ecological view of history in 1957 for the first time.13, 14 The approach he proposed is not been well recognized by Western scholars in social sciences, history, and anthropology, even though the work has now been translated into English.15,16The idea was that Eurasian history can be primarily evaluated based on the principle of ecology. There are parallels between the history and modernization of Western Europe and that of Japan, just as there are parallel historical phenomena among other societies such as China, India, Arabia, and Russia. Clearly, we can adapt the principles of ecological succession and parallel evolution in biology to the behavior of human history.Umesao comparatively evaluated Japanese civilization as a system along with Western European civilizations. He divided Eurasian civilizations into two groups, as shown in his original conceptual illustration (Figure 1). Is this hypothesis oversimplified?He classified Western Europe and Japan as Area 1, and the other civilizations on the Eurasian continent (Arabia, India, Russia, China, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia) he categorized as Area 2.In the past, many have written of a parallel history between Western Europe and Japan.17-21 However, via Umesao's method, we can clarify the behaviors and the differences between the two groups by demonstrating why Japan modernized at the same time as Western Europe. Why? The differences between the two groups of civilizations are mainly attributable to the ecological and geological locations of the groups on the Eurasian continent.Umesao did not apply his method to the New World; indeed, he mentioned not having an idea of how the New World should be evaluated via his ecological theories. Thus, the evaluation of civilizations in the New World-such as North America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand-mounts an interesting academic challenge.I have attempted to develop a unified theory that describes the behavior of biosystems at different hierarchical levels such as chemical evolution, prokaryotes (unicellular), eukaryotes (multicellular), social insects, ecosystems, and civilizations. One can easily deduce the principle of the theory by observing the roles of a biosystem and its building blocks in relation to their environment.23-25 The building blocks in a biosystem do not tend to interact directly with the environment. The biosystem itself relates to the environment (Figure 2).The theory successfully demonstrates the unique properties of biosystems at different hierarchical levels; this principle constitutes the biosystematic view of civilization (BVC).25 Furthermore, the principle of the BVC may be applied to the description of the behaviors of civilizations.The biosystematic view of civilization is ecological, an extension of the idea that we may look at civilizations ecologically; both the biosystematic view and the ecological view see civilization as a system. …" @default.
