In the last decade, cultural transmission experiments (transmission chains, replacement,
closed groups and seeded groups) have become important experimental tools in investigating …

High-fidelity cultural transmission, rather than brute intelligence, is the secret of our species’
success, or so many cultural evolutionists claim. It has been selected because it ensures the …

The cumulative open-endedness of human cultures represents a major break with the social
traditions of nonhuman species. As traditions are altered and the modifications retained …

A leading idea of cultural evolutionary theory is that for human cultures to undergo evolutionary
change, cultural transmission must generally serve as a high-fidelity copying process. In …

Herein, we present the first example of a benzimidazolium-based artificial transmembrane
chloride transporter and a synthetic calcium ionophore that can regulate intracellular …

Typical examples of cultural phenomena all exhibit a degree of similarity across time and
space at the level of the population. As such, a fundamental question for any science of culture …

The Canadian patchwork system of prescription drug coverage and the employer sponsored
private health benefits group plans appear vulnerable to cost growth due to insufficient …

The ability to transmit information between individuals through social learning is a foundational
component of cultural evolution. However, how this transmission occurs is still debated. …

Among the various new challenges of chemical processes in water, research on stable,
highly active, and recyclable catalysts is a prosperous field. We present here a palladium–NHC …

For a population to undergo evolution by natural selection, it is assumed that the constituents
of the population form parent-offspring lineages, that is, that they must reproduce. I …
