The Evolution of Cultural Entities by Michael Wheeler
Since Darwin, scholars have noted that cultural entities such as languages, laws, firms, and theories seem to 'evolve' through sequences of variation, selection, and replication, in many ways just like living organisms. These essays consider whether modern evolutionary theory can help us to understand the dynamics of different cultural domains.-
