Description
Culture and the Evolutionary Process explores how biological, psychological, sociological, and cultural factors interact to change societies over time. Robert Boyd and Peter J. Richerson propose a theory of cultural evolution that offers an alternative to the sociobiology debate.
The authors use methods developed by population biologists to examine the relationship between genetic and cultural factors under evolutionary forces. This approach sheds light on the diversity we see in human cultures, revealing how different societies have evolved over time.
