Cultural evolution keeps on coming, in books as well as articles.
Not only articles, but also increasingly books on Darwinian-style cultural, social and economic evolution are being published. Great! In addition to ones previously mentioned here such as Runciman 2009, Blute 2010 and Hodgson & Knudsen 2010 – on my desk right now are:
Kate Distin. 2011. Cultural Evolution. Cambridge University Press.
Robert H. Frank. 2011. The Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common Good. Princeton University Press.
Maria Kronfeldner. 2011. Darwinian Creativity and Memetics. Acumen Publishing Ltd.
Alex Mesoudi. 2011. Cultural Evolution: How Darwinian Theory Can Explain Human Culture & Synthesize the Social Sciences. University of Chicago Press.
I haven’t read all four of these yet, but will be and am looking forward to it!
