Description

This Springer book explores how human settlements have evolved from their earliest origins through to the modern age, grounded in Darwinian evolutionary theory. The author argues that humanity's distinctive capacity for complex communication and innovative problem-solving has directly shaped the formation of modern cities and the rise of megacities. Using evolutionary theory as its conceptual foundation and general systems theory as its analytical framework, the book systematically examines how these forces have transformed human habitation patterns across millennia. Ideal for scholars, anthropologists, and anyone interested in understanding the deep historical roots of urbanisation and human social organisation, this work bridges evolutionary biology with urban development and sociological analysis.

Key Features

Springer publication applying Darwinian evolutionary perspective to trace human settlement development across prehistoric and modern periods.

Explores how complex communication and problem-solving abilities drove the formation of cities and megacities throughout human history.

Uses general systems theory as an operational framework to organise and interpret settlement evolution across multiple timescales.

Connects evolutionary biology, anthropology and sociology to explain urbanisation patterns from Pleistocene origins to contemporary megacities.
