Cultural Transmission and Evolution: A Quantitative Approach

A quantitative treatment of cultural transmission and evolution. The companion cites it, with Boyd and Richerson, 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.
