- Proposed double-weighted
- Yes
- Double-weighted statement
- This is a single author monograph which makes a significant contribution to bringing a social and emotional perspective on our understanding of human origins. It satisfies criteria for double-weighting on several fronts:
-the book is “a longer-form output demonstrating sustained research effort”
-data analysis is based on “collection and analysis of a large body of material”
-in putting forward the novel argument that, rather than changes in intelligence, it was changes in emotional motivations towards altruism which was a driving factor in human evolutionary change, the author has undertaken “a complex, extended and multi-layered process of individual creative investigation”.
