dc.description.abstractIn this thesis I evaluate whether the evolutionary school of thought of Cultural Multi-Level Selection (CMLS) can yield new insights to the discipline of Sustainability Science. Ellis et al. (2018) and Snyder (2020) propose it can explain the emergence of sustainability issues through human evolutionary history and Waring et al. (2015) propose a framework through which solutions can be found to current sustainability issues. I argue that Ellis et al. and Snyder are correct, but their approaches could be enhanced by putting more emphasis on the process of cultural evolution. I argue the framework by Waring et al. lacks accuracy to be applied well, falsely equates group-beneficial behavior with sustainable behavior and isn’t applicable to sustainability issues on a worldwide scale.en_US
