GROK: The Biology-Culture-Ideology-Language Nexus in the Moral Evolution of Palestinian Societies: Transitions from Byzantine Palaestina (550 CE) to Contemporary Palestine (2025 CE)
The Biology-Culture-Ideology-Language Nexus in the Moral Evolution of Palestinian Societies: Transitions from Byzantine Palaestina (550 CE) to Contemporary Palestine (2025 CE) Introduction The framework articulated by Ellis and Solms (2018) posits that human cognition and behavior arise from the interplay of evolutionarily conserved subcortical emotional systems—termed "hard-wired"—and the neocortex's plasticity, which enables "soft-wired" adaptations shaped by environmental interactions. This model rejects innate cognitive modules, including linguistic acquisition devices, emphasizing developmental processes wherein primary affective circuits guide modular emergence through experiential contingencies. Applied to the biology-culture-ideology-language nexus, this framework elucidates how preconceptional ecologies (e.g., ancestral stressors), epigenetic modifications, genetic predispositions, familial transmissions, peer dynamics, communal norms, and institution...
