The Pace of Cultural Evolution
PLoS ONE, 2012 Today, humans inhabit most of the world's terrestrial habitats. This observation has been explained by the fact that we possess a secondary inheritance mechanism, culture, in addition to a genetic system. Because it is assumed that cultural evolution occurs faster than biological evolution, humans can adapt to new ecosystems more rapidly than other ...

The evolution of cultural evolution
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2003AbstractHumans are unique in their range of environments and in the nature and diversity of their behavioral adaptations. While a variety of local genetic adaptations exist within our species, it seems certain that the same basic genetic endowment produces arctic foraging, tropical horticulture, and desert pastoralism, a constellation that represents a

Current Biology, 2022A new study finds that melodies evolve in similar ways, reminiscent of genetic evolution, across cultures. Patterns of change in music and other aesthetic domains may be the key to understanding how culture evolves when unfettered by physical or ecological constraints.

Theory in Biosciences, 2008
Recent work in the fields of evolutionary ethics and moral psychology appears to be converging on a single empirically- and evolutionary-based science of morality or ethics. To date, however, these fields have failed to provide an adequate conceptualisation of how culture affects the content and distribution of moral norms.

Childhood and cultural evolution
Journal of Analytical Psychology, 2022AbstractAlready in 1912, Sabina Spielrein addressed the transforming and antagonistic movements of life that appear from conception in her work ‘Destruction as the cause of coming into being’. Her writings form a bridge between Freud and Jung, as they establish the relationship between biological experiences and archetypes.
