Dans une étude récente, les chercheurs Timothy Waring et Zachary Wood proposent une hypothèse audacieuse : l'évolution humaine entrerait dans une nouvelle phase, où ce n'est plus tant la génétique que la culture qui devient le principal moteur de notre adaptation. Le cœur de la théorieSelon Waring et Wood, nous assisterions à un basculement majeur : la transmission culturelle, qu'il s'agisse de techniques, d'institutions, de connaissances, prend désormais le pas sur la transmission génétique comme facteur fondamental de survie et de reproduction. Autrement dit : les gènes restent bien sûr importants… mais ce sont de plus en plus les systèmes culturels — l'éducation, la médecine, la technologie, les lois — qui déterminent si une personne ou un groupe peut prospérer. Pourquoi ce changement ?Plusieurs observations viennent étayer cette théorie :Dans le passé, l'évolution se faisait par de très longs processus génétiques : mutations, sélection, générations après générations.Aujourd'hui, on constate que les humains corrigent leurs handicaps via des technologies, vivent dans des environnements façonnés culturellement, et se transmettent des compétences et institutions à grande vitesse. Exemple : les lunettes corrigent la vue, la chirurgie permet de survivre à des affections mortelles, ce qui signifie que la sélection naturelle « pure » est moins décisive. Les systèmes culturels sont plus rapides : une innovation utile (par exemple, un protocole sanitaire, un procédé technologique) peut s'imposer en quelques années, là où une adaptation génétique prendra des millénaires. Waring et Wood estiment que cette rapidité donne à la culture un avantage adaptatif décisif. Quelles implications ?Les auteurs suggèrent que l'humanité pourrait évoluer vers quelque chose de plus groupal : les individus ne sont plus simplement des porteurs de gènes, mais font partie de systèmes culturels coopératifs, à même d'agir comme des super-organismes. En pratique, cela signifie que l'avenir évolutif de notre espèce dépendra peut-être davantage de la résilience et de l'innovation de nos sociétés culturelles que de notre bagage génétique. Il s'agit aussi d'un appel à penser l'évolution sous un angle nouveau : non plus seulement biologique, mais socioculturel, où l'environnement, les institutions, les technologies sont des facteurs d'adaptation à part entière.À noter toutefoisWaring et Wood ne prétendent pas que les gènes soient devenus inutiles ; leur théorie ne supprime pas la génétique mais la place dans un cadre plus large. De plus, ils insistent sur le fait que l'évolution culturelle n'est pas forcément « positive » ou morale : elle produire aussi des structures inégalitaires, des risques nouveaux et des trajectoires imprévues. En résumé, voilà une théorie qui change notre regard sur « ce que signifie être humain » : loin d'être figés dans nos gènes, nous serions en train de devenir des êtres davantage façonnés par les réseaux culturels, les institutions et la technologie. Si elle se confirme, cette vision pourrait bien redéfinir le futur de notre espèce. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Jennefer Witter, CEO of The Boreland Group in discussion with Zachary Wood, assistant editor and columnist at THE GUARDIAN, talk about the causes, effects, and prevention of implicit bias.

As a college student, Zachary Wood ignited a national debate when he invited controversial speakers — anti-feminists, climate-change deniers, and self-proclaimed racists — to lecture on campus. Critics accused him of promoting dangerous ideas. But in his new memoir, "Uncensored," Wood argues that we can develop empathy and understanding by engaging with opposing viewpoints.Support us by supporting our sponsors!Daily Harvest — Go to dailyharvest.com and enter code BIGIDEA for $25 off your first box.LinkedIn Marketing — Visit linkedin.com/bigidea to receive a free $100 ad credit.Next Big Idea Club — The best books of the year delivered to your door.

Zachary Wood has become comfortable with uncomfortable conversations. He’s engaged in them his entire life — with his mom who suffers from schizoaffective disorder, with his neighbors in Washington, D.C.’s impoverished Ward 8 community, and with his friends at the elite private high school he commuted four hours round trip to each day. So when Wood arrived at Williams College in 2014, he was prepared for the uncomfortable learning that comes along with uncomfortable conversations about the world’s most important and controversial issues. Unfortunately, he was quick to learn not everyone was up for the challenge — including his college president. On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we talk with Wood about his new memoir, Uncensored: My Life and Uncomfortable Conversations at the Intersection of Black and White America.

Not since the civil war have we been as tribal as a nation as we are today. What’s worse, is that today, through the power of modern communication, social media, bifurcated business models, and 24/7 news, we can be siloed from dawn to dusk. We never have to associate with people whose views are different than ours. We never have to friend people with uncomfortable or different points of view. We get our news, our products and even sometimes our meals, only from people that agree with us. It’s all very comfortable. But what have we lost in the process. Intellectual challenge, empathy, understanding, compassion, bravery, and getting out of our comfort zone are all lost. All so we can be cocooned in the warm bath of confirmation bias. And as bad as this is in society at large, no where is it worse than on college campuses. A world where “safe spaces” mean don’t challenge me. 50 Years ago college campuses were alive with ferment and yes, even revolution. Today, to many campuses represent a world of intellectual cowardice and laziness. No one knows this better than former Williams College student, Zachary Wood. He writes about this experience in Uncensored: My Life and Uncomfortable Conversations at the Intersection of Black and White America. My conversation with Zachary Wood:

Should all speech, even the most offensive, be allowed on college campuses? And is hearing from those we deeply disagree with ... worth it? This hour, TED speakers explore the debate over free speech. Guests include recent college graduate Zachary Wood, political scientist Jeffrey Howard, novelist Elif Shafak, and journalist and author James Kirchick.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Zachary Wood, author of Uncensored: My Life And Uncomfortable Conversations At The Intersection of Black And White, released just least month by Dutton. Zachary’s primary goal in this book, in addition to telling us his life story in memoir form, is to encourage uncomfortable conversations. He graduated from (just this year) Williams College where he served as President of Uncomfortable Learning, a student group that has from time to time created nation controversies for inviting provocative speakers to campus from John Derbyshire to Charles Murray. Zachary has defended this conversations and the upshot from them to the point where he offered Senate testimony this past Summer. His writings, as young as he is, have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post and many others. He is an assistant editor at The Atlantic and a Robert. L. Bartley Fellow at the WSJ. Zach’s path is a convoluted one in which uncomfortable conversations have been a hallmark. Both in his family and now academically.

"I had always wanted to write a memoir one day, and I had always wanted to write a book, and I thought that it'd be a unique opportunity to speak to a number of issues I care deeply about—issues of free speech, issues of race, class, inequality—and ultimately, to speak to the ways in which I hope to make a positive difference in the lives of others."
