Abstract
Since evolution is the biologic “history” of man, it should be functionally integrated with our social history. Furthermore, conventional Darwinian evolution is not mechanistic, allowing for a testable/refutable understanding of the causal relationships underlying the process. By merging history with “non-machine like” mechanistic evolutionary biology, the ultimate goal of history would be realized.
