进化动力学：社会科学数学化的新范式

近几十年来，社会科学的研究面貌至少在以下两方面发生了巨大改变：一是达尔文进化思想的冲击越来越大，二是数学手段获得广泛应用。进化动力学是进化生物学日益数学化的结果，兼有进化思想与数学思想双重特征。把进化动力学方法引入社会科学研究之中，将能促成进化思想与数学思想在更高的层次上实现综合，从而为以动态社会现象为主要研究对象的社会科学研究开辟广阔的发展前景，进化动力学关于人类语言进化的开创性研究为此提供了有力例证。

Evolutionary Dynamics： A New Paradigm for Mathematicization of Social Sciences

During the last decades, the features of social sciences have changed greatly in at least two as- pects： one is the huge shock of Darwin＇s evolutionary thoughts upon them, and the other is the wide- spread application of various mathematics instruments. Evolutionary dynamics, as the result of math- ematicization of evolutionary biology, occupies a double feature of both evolutionary and mathematical thoughts. To introduce evolutionary dynamics into social scientific studies will integrate evolutionary and mathematical thoughts at a higher level, and will beat a wide path for the social scientific studies mainly focusing on dynamic social phenomena, which has been convincingly exemplified by the pionee- ring research of evolutionary dynamics on the evolution of human language.
