Culture primer

2020-08-29

Abstract excerpt

<p>In this Primer, Cecilia Heyes explains how and why cultural evolutionists define culture. Social learning is ubiquitous in animals, it often produces group-typical behaviour, and more rarely yields improvement over generations. In humans, complex cognitive processes may be fruits rather than seeds of cultural selection.</p>
