history as a mirror of the cultural history of mankind. Even the early history of men is related to the idea that independent life can be created without sexual reproduction. Stories from Greek mythology [the creation of persons without sexual reproduction, e.g., the generation of Prometheus (Fig. 1.1)] may be considered as early reports representing the idea of creating living creatures from l...

OBJECTIVES Cultural variability (CV) is introduced as an overlooked dimension of cultural identity development pertaining to emphasizing and de-emphasizing the influence of a single cultural identity (i.e., cultural influence [CI]) on daily interactions and behaviors. The Cultural IDentity Influence Measure (CIDIM) is introduced as a novel measure of CI and CV, and hypothesis-driven validation ...

In recent years, far from arguing that evolutionary approaches to our own species permit us to describe the fundamental character of human nature, a prominent group of cultural evolutionary theorists has instead argued that the very idea of 'human nature' is one we should reject. It makes no sense, they argue, to speak of human nature in opposition to human culture. The very same sceptical argu...

I will argue that fitness should in fact focus on differential persistence of entities instead of differential reproductive success of replicators. Understanding evolution as such shifts the nature of adaptation from reproduction to persistence, changing the means by which representational powers w...
