Gene-culture coevolution: toward a general theory of vertical transmission.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Dec 1992

Feldman M W, Zhivotovsky L A

Abstract excerpt

A general formulation of cultural and genetic transmission is developed. The cultural transmission is vertical and the genetics may involve multiple loci. Each individual is represented by a phenogenotype, and conditions are given under which the evolutionary dynamics of phenogenotype frequencies are reducible to phenogametic or phenoallelic frequencies. The interaction between genes and culture is specified by...
