受达尔文启发的群体思维建议将文化视为不同类型项目的群体,其相对频率可能会随着时间的推移而变化。种群模型可以分为三个嵌套亚型:进化型、选择型和复制型。通过在选择框架内模拟文化进化,在文化进化研究方面取得了实质性进展。这一进展涉及将可能对充分理解文化和文化演变至关重要的现象理想化,特别是文化传播机制的建设性方面。考虑到这些方面,我们描述的文化进化的文化吸引力,这是人口和进化,但只有在某些情况下选择。因此,为了模拟文化进化,我们不能简单地调整现有的复制或选择模型,而是应该推广它们,因此,正如基于复制者的选择是达尔文选择的一种形式,选择本身也是吸引力可以采取的几种不同形式之一。我们提出了一个初步的形式化的概念的文化吸引力。
Darwin-inspired population thinking suggests approaching culture as a population of items of different types, whose relative frequencies may change over time. Three nested subtypes of populational models can be distinguished: evolutionary, selectional and replicative. Substantial progress has been made in the study of cultural evolution by modelling it within the selectional frame. This progress has involved idealizing away from phenomena that may be critical to an adequate understanding of culture and cultural evolution, particularly the constructive aspect of the mechanisms of cultural transmission. Taking these aspects into account, we describe cultural evolution in terms of cultural attraction, which is populational and evolutionary, but only selectional under certain circumstances. As such, in order to model cultural evolution, we must not simply adjust existing replicative or selectional models but we should rather generalize them, so that, just as replicator-based selection is one form that Darwinian selection can take, selection itself is one of several different forms that attraction can take. We present an elementary formalization of the idea of cultural attraction.
