Dual inheritance theory (DIT), also known as gene–culture coevolution or biocultural evolution, [1] was developed in the 1960s through early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product …
2021年9月23日 · Gene-culture coevolution, in the study of religious evolution, stands for circular, recurrent, adaptive interactions between genetic and cultural innovations. In evolutionary …
The first part of this essay is an attempt to understand what sort of theory of human cultural evolution Darwin proposed in The Descent of Man, which is difficult for two reasons. Although, …
Gene–culture coevolution is the application of sociobiology, the general theory of the social organi-zation of biological species, to humans—a species that transmits culture in a manner …
We investigate the hypothesis that the process of cultural evolution has played an active, leading role in the evolution of genes. Culture normally evolves more rapidly than genes, creating …
Culture (behaviour based on socially transmitted information) is present in diverse animal species, yet how it interacts with genetic evolution remains largely unexplored. Here, we review the …
Long-term gene–culture coevolu-tion (GCC) is also poorly understood. Some have argued that culture steers human evolution, while others proposed that genes hold culture on a leash. We …
