Abstract

The target article from Turchin et al. assesses the relationship between social complexity and moralistic supernatural punishment. In our evaluation of their project, we argue that each step of its workflow -- from data production and theory to modeling and reporting -- makes it impossible to test the hypothesis that its authors claim they are testing. We focus our discussion on three important classes of issues: problems of data, analysis, and causal inference.

编码,因果关系和统计工艺:道德超自然惩罚的出现和进化驱动因素仍未解决
Turchin等人的目标文章评估了社会复杂性与道德超自然惩罚之间的关系。在我们对他们的项目的评估中,我们认为其工作流程的每一步——从数据生产和理论到建模和报告——都使得不可能测试其作者声称他们正在测试的假设。我们将重点讨论三类重要的问题:数据问题、分析问题和因果推理问题。
