Culture and the Evolutionary Process

Robert Boyd, Peter J. Richerson · 1985

University of Chicago Press (Chicago)

Boyd and Richerson's book on culture and the evolutionary process. The companion cites it, with Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman, for the point that in culture variation is guided, because people invent, imitate, and choose. Sighted variation (P4) extends this precedent to variation generated by a lineage's own copyable machine reasoning.
