Adaptation and Social Organization

Insofar as a Species is the organic whole of its members, it is itself an Organism.  Accordingly, it has its own relation of Adaptation with its Environment, with its internal structure as a factor in that relation.  Thus, the social organization of a Species can be determined by either an Adaptation-To principle, or one that is an Adaptation-Of.  In Human history, the diaspora from its original location to the rest of the planet is one example of its Adaptation-To its Environment.  Another is any organization determined by dependence on natural resources, e. g. a basic agrarian society.  But, just as the development of instruments serving a variety of purposes--manufacturing, transportation, communication, etc.--is part of an Adaptation-Of the Human Environment, so, too,  is consequent social re-organization.  The affect of the Means of Production on social relations, the concept of which is central to Marxism, is one example of social re-organization that is determined by Adaptation-Of.  Others include high-speed transportation and communication.  So, Ecologism, according to which Adaptation is a fundamental principle, entails possible Political Philosophy and Economic Theory that are radically different than the Atomist doctrines of the Modern era, beginning with the very grounds for such studies and their objects.
