Evolution's Role in Other Fields

The interdisciplinary nature of evolution is not just a scientific one, research has also drawn a connection between evolution and the field of public relations. Cary A. Greenwood (2010) examined the use of Darwin's evolution theory as a way of forming the thought of public relations. Key to this connection is the emphasis of the concept of relationships in both public relations and evolutionary theory. This research emphasizes that both human and nonhuman primates both develop and utilize relationships, and evolutionary theory is a way of understanding these processes. Public relations includes importance in relationships as well as it is a way of example the 'the ‘interdependence of organizations and others in their environments’” (Greenwood, 2010). By operationalizing evolution and public relations the research draws a connection between the fields of evolution and public relations. 

Evolution has an interdisciplinary nature, in that it serves as a conceptual background for many academic disciplines. This role of evolution in other disciplines emphasizes the importance of evolution to society as a whole. By observing evolution’s role across disciplines we are able to understand that evolution is not just key to science, but key to society overall.
