How Traditions Live and Die - Foundations of Human Interaction
Morin, Olivier (Research Fellow, Research Fellow, KLI Institute, Klosterneuburg, Austria)
This book brings together cognitive science and quantitative cultural history to look into the causes of cultural survival. Instead of blind and faithful imitation, it explores the appeal of traditions evolved to fit cognitive biases. This is both an introduction and an alternative to contemporary theories of cultural evolution.
