Abstract

Normative phenomena can be described in aggregative terms – as evolutionary phenomena in ultra-social species homo sapiens (sapiens), as Michael Tomasello has shown in his evolutionary story A natural history of human morality, where the so-called interdependence hypotheses plays the most important role. In this paper, along with this hypothesis, key concepts of normative aggregation will be defined. From the evolutionary (i.e. natural) perspective, this approach makes it clear what norms actually are, that is a specific (complex) group behavior.
