Challenges in Modeling Cultural Evolution by Mar Mar is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the challenges of modeling cultural evolution using Darwinian theory. While cultural items exhibit variation, competition, and inheritance, the mechanisms of cultural propagation differ crucially from biological inheritance in ways that complicate direct application of evolutionary models.
