An evolutionary framework for cultural change: selectionism versus communal exchange.
Dawkins' replicator-based conception of evolution has led to widespread mis-application of selectionism across the social sciences because it does not address the paradox that necessitated the theory of natural selection in the first place: how do organisms accumulate change when traits acquired over their lifetime are obliterated? This is addressed by von Neumann's concept of a self-replicatin...
متن کاملCommentary on "An evolutionary framework for cultural change: selectionism versus communal exchange" by Liane Gabora.
This is an outstanding paper. There is surely some truth to the notion that culture evolves, but the Darwinian view of culture is trivial. Consider the following example: the economic evolution from the Turing machine, to the mainframe computer, to personal computer, to word processing, file sharing, the Web, and selling things on the web. In what sense is selling on the web a mutant variant of...
متن کاملReply to the commentaries on "An evolutionary framework for cultural change: selectionism versus communal exchange".
The commentators have brought a wealth of new perspectives to the question of how culture evolves. Each of their diverse disciplines--ranging from psychology to biology to anthropology to economics to engineering--has a valuable contribution to make to our understanding of this complex, multifaceted topic.

متن کاملA Communal Exchange-based Framework for Cultural Evolution
The overarching goal of my research program is to develop a scientific framework for cultural evolution that is as clear as our scientific framework for biological evolution. Such a framework can provide us with a better understanding of our origins and possibly improve the accuracy of predictions concerning future cultural scenarios. This presentation will begin by motivating the theoretical f...
متن کاملSocietal threat and cultural variation in the strength of social norms: An evolutionary basis
The strengths of social norms vary considerably across cultures, yet little research has shown whether such differences have an evolutionary basis. Integrating research in cross-cultural psychology with evolutionary game theory, we show that groups that face a high degree of threat develop stronger norms for organizing social interaction, with a higher degree of norm–adherence and higher punish...
