Pathways to cultural adaptation: the coevolution of cumulative culture and social networks

2023-02-21

Abstract excerpt

Humans have adapted to an immense array of ecologies by accumulating culturally transmitted knowledge and skills. Culture accumulates in at least two ways: via more distinct cultural traits, or via improvements of existing cultural trait. A trade-off is expected between these owing to the fact that social learning opportunities are finite and social learning often requires multiple exposures. Furthermore, what kin...
