Notes

  1. 1.

    We encourage readers to explore the relevant historical studies, including details regarding an evolutionary historical-economic approach in Plumpe (2019).

  2. 2.

    For more details on his approach, we encourage readers to see (Preyer 2009a, 48–73).

  3. 3.

    Creoles live in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of South America (Portuguese: Crioulo, Spanish: Criollo). We thus classify with “creoles” the African slaves born in the colonies and in the Spanish colonies the descendants of the white peninsular born (in Spain) immigrants as opposed to the mestizos (Indo-Spanish). In the Portuguese colonies of West Africa “Criolo” is a classifiable family with its own language and custom. “Creoul” is used as a classification term for the ethnic and cultural components in Latin America and the Caribbean. The term also classifies pidgin language as a precursor to the Creole language. For further information, on the history of the term and on the placement of the term in linguistics and ethology, we encourage readers to see Knörr (2007, 2009).

  4. 4.

    On the final format of the analytical action systems: Parsons (1974).

  5. 5.

    On a reassessment of Schelsky’s sociology: Krawietz (2017, 133–215).

  6. 6.

    The old diffusionism as the German School of Ethnology goes back to Friedrich Ratzel.

  7. 7.

    Eisenstadt (2004); ProtoSociology 2004: Preyer (2011a, 2016a); Marangudakis (2016, 48–64); Ben-Rafael and Sternberg (2005, 4370–4); Ben-Rafael (2012, 223–227).

  8. 8.

    For the second research program: Eisenstadt, Lerner, Grab ProtoSociology 2004, 318–371.
