The Emergence of Culture: The Evolution of a Uniquely Human Way of Life 2006 edition
Philip Chase
This book describes the emergent nature of human culture, based on the human ability to create and pass on social codes through instruction and example. It proposes hypotheses to explain how a phenomenon that is potentially maladaptive for individuals could have evolved, and to explain why culture plays such a pervasive role in human life.
