A two level mutation-selection model of cultural evolution and diversity.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Nov 2010

Salazar-Ciudad Isaac

Abstract excerpt

Cultural evolution is a complex process that can happen at several levels. At the level of individuals in a population, each human bears a set of cultural traits that he or she can transmit to its offspring (vertical transmission) or to other members of his or her society (horizontal transmission). The relative frequency of a cultural trait in a population or society can thus increase or decrease with the...
