Understanding the Uniqueness of Human Beings and Cultural Evolution
Human beings are unique because we possess a cultural line of inheritance in addition to genetic inheritance and life experience./nCultural evolution is an extension of population genetics into the world of culture./nOur behaviors, values, and technologies are often not fully understood and may be driven by unconscious influences./nOur ability to interact with the world and use technology is a result of cultural evolution./nUnderstanding ourselves and our future requires studying the software running on our brains rather than focusing solely on neuroscience.
