The Human Ecological Niche

The local environment is an organism that is its habitat. Niche organisms are their role in the environment, including what it does to eat and what it does, how it interacts and how abiotic factors interact as it competes for living things. A man can only change its biological habitat, and at the top of the food chain

Think about your personal niche and habitat. What is typically a human habitat? Description of Homo sapiens niche

Note to students: In the following, the series should be useful in developing the idea of ​​this theme. I do not necessarily recommend it as an answer itself, I believe that you can think of more examples as a problem, to show your personal habitat as a problem. But, the answer given here must be a good starting point for your thoughts!

Therefore, our adaptability, human beings can occupy a variety of habitat. This is in stark contrast to other forms of life, and we are surprisingly showing this point as we do not have facts of "typical" habitat. Let's think about human life in the forest, the city, the desert, the Arctic Ocean (submarine, for example seafarer), and even the universe. Although our body is relatively weak, we can integrate the human environment, to fit us, through the use of our technology, our company. Other animals are usually suitable for their environment so that camels can store extra moisture for later use

In these respects, at least from the environmental point of view, it is difficult to determine a specific human habitat

The total number of individual niche terms of evolution and species and survival of the living things in the environment, adaptation success

I suggested that the concept of niche promotes the integration of human culture and ecological data and biological research of human ecology. A human niche is thus considered to be a multidimensional space defined by the conditions necessary for human survival, providing accurate definition and quantification of additional benefits. Demand for human survival is basically broadly defined, but the specific population often occupies a highly specialized niche with special requirements. Long-term success depends on the population evolution difficult to be satisfied by the specialized system, which needs to maintain the ability to survive, which is the general condition of the niche career most likely to be met by . Therefore, this species is human

We can not understand human niches unless you link niche architecture with cultural evolution and social change. Human change in ecology is essentially social, social learning and social development (4). Long-term changes in human niches are generated through evolutionary processes that affect ecological and cultural genetics (4, 5). Complex cultural packages such as agriculture are a long-term cumulative cultural evolutionary process promoted by social learning with high fidelity, large groups, cooperation within the group and multi-level selection (6, 7 ) To spread and spread.

Boivin et al. (1) "Human ecological architecture" depicts its ecological consequences without directly linking to evolutionary process (4). Note the "evolutionary pressure" and "evolutionary trajectory", but the ecological inheritance, ecological building theory (9), not included, the foundation of cultural heritage or natural, artificial or cultural selection process Is not included. Although there was a "cultural niche structure", cultural evolution (6, 7) has not been mentioned or linked to the niche structure, leaving only "human ecological architecture" without the necessary evolutionary background "Ecological human transformation" - or ecological engineering.
