Culture evolves, not just in the trivial sense that cultures change overtime, but also in the strong sense that such change is governed by Darwinianprinciples. Both biological and cultural evolution are essentially cumulativeselection processes in which information (whether genetic or cultural) issieved, retained and then transmitted to the next generation. In both domainssuch a process will result in recognizable lineages and tree-like phylogeniesso characteristic of Darwinian evolution. Because a principle of inheritance(i.e., faithful replication of information) holds in both domains, we may traceback particular transmission histories and identify the forces that influencedthem. The idea that culture evolves is quite old, but only in recent yearsthere has been a serious effort to turn this idea into science. This articleoffers a concise analysis of how a rudimentary idea gradually evolved into athriving research program.
