... that as compelling a case can now be made that cultural evolution has key Darwinian properties, as Darwin himself presented for biological evolution in The Origin of Species. Culture is shown to exhibit variation, competition, inheritance, and the accumulation of successive cultural modifications over time...

The consequence of such a view is to render impossible the explanation of the origin and coherence of named chunks of the genealogical nexus.

This chapter challenges the view that there was no scientific alternative to Darwinian evolution. On the contrary, it contends that a naturalistic theory of the origin of species...
