Question

Q4. All human cultures evolve over time. Which of the following things is most responsible for this? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

If we define culture as "information capable of affecting individuals' behavior that they acquire from other members of their species through teaching, imitation and other forms of social transmission,” cultural evolution is fundamentally just the change of culture over time.

The core idea of cultural evolution is that cultural change constitutes an evolutionary process that shares fundamental similarities with – but also differs in key ways from – genetic evolution. As such, human behavior is shaped by both genetic and cultural evolution. The same can be said for many other animal species; like the tool use of chimpanzees or Caledonian crows or the complex social organization of hives for ants, bees, termites, and wasps.

Answer 2

Culture is cumulative

Explanation:

New cultural skills and knowledge are added to what preceding generations have learnt. The development and collection of new information and skills leads to cultural progress. Cumulative culture refers to a person's ability to build on his or her forefathers' cultural practises, allowing for advances in cultural complexity to the point where many of our cultural objects, goods, and technology have gone beyond what a single person could develop alone.
