In a critical review of late twentieth-century gene-culture co-evolutionary models labelled as `global phylogeny', the authors present evidence for the long legacy of co-evolutionary theories in European-based thinking, highlighting that (1) ideas of social and cultural evolution preceded the idea of biological evolution, (2) linguistics played a dominant role in the formation of a unified theory of human co-evolution, and (3) that co-evolutionary thinking was only possible due to perpetuated and renewed transdisciplinary reticulations between scholars of different disciplines---especially within the integrative framework of the `humanid' and the `hominid' branches of anthropology.
