The profound impact of Darwin's theory of evolution on biology has led to theacceptance of the theory in many complex systems that lie well beyond itsoriginal domain. Culture is one example that also exhibits key Darwinianevolutionary properties: Differential adoption of cultural variants (variationand selection), new entities imitating older ones (inheritance), andconvergence toward the most suitable state (adaptation). In this work wepresent a framework for capturing the details of the evolutionary dynamics incultural systems on the "meme"- the cultural analog of the biologicalgene-level, and analyze large-scale, comprehensive movie-meme association datato construct a timeline of the history of cinema via the evolution of genresand the rise and fall of prominent sub-genres. We also identify the impactfulmovies that were harbingers to popular memes that we may say correspond to theproverbial "Eve" of the human race, shining light on the process by whichcertain genres form and grow. Finally, we measure how the impact of moviescorrelates with the experts' and the public's assessment.
