Evolutionary and adaptation
Talcott Parsons, author of Societies: Evolutionary and Comparative Perspectives ( 1966 ) and The System of Modern Societies ( 1971 ) divided evolution into four subprocesses: ( 1 ) division, which creates functional subsystems from the main system ; ( 2 ) adaptation, where those systems evolve into more efficient versions ; ( 3 ) inclusion of elements previously excluded from the given systems ; and ( 4 ) generalization of values, increasing the legitimization of the ever more complex system.
