Fundamental theorem of natural selection in biocultural populations.

Abstract excerpt

I derive a general equation for the evolution of mean biological fitness in large, randomly mating populations in which the phenotype is subject to both biological and cultural transmission and in which fitness and the effects of cultural transmission are genotype-dependent. The equation is dm/dt = 2 Cov(m,m'), where dm/dt is the instantaneous rate of change in the mean biological fitness of the population and...
