Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2005.
The literature on "cultural evolution" is vast and it cuts across a heterogeneous set of disciplines. There are many overlapping strands in this literature, but little agreement from author to author. The one overwhelming trend is the widespread use of certain biological concepts to describe processes of cultural change. What happens to these concepts when they are exported from their home territory and imported into the study of culture? What do we gain by doing this? In this dissertation, I critically examine the basic concepts and assumptions of a biological approach to cultural change. First, I disambiguate widely used, but poorly understood concepts such as "cultural evolution," "culture," "social learning," "cultural inheritance," and "cultural selection." Second, I investigate how these concepts relate to actual demographic, social, and psychological processes. Third, I evaluate the significance of certain biological concepts, such as the concept of a selection process, for explaining cultural change. The dissertation does not culminate in a grand thesis about cultural change, but in a methodical analysis of various evolutionary concepts and processes of interest to philosophers, social scientists, and biologists.
