Cultural evolution is part of evolution as much as genetic evolution is. In fact cultural evolution in practice supersedes genetic evolution in many places because it adapts and propagates orders of magnitudes faster than genes.
If you want to ignore most of the picture and focus on the part you like, you're like a horse with eye covers. Only what you look at exists, and where you look determines where you want to go. It's not pretty.
- emteycz 5y agoI'm open to the broader picture and certainly the human culture has enormous impact on human bodies, the age of death, etc. But the comment I originally reacted to has suggested that death is entirely socially driven, which IMHO needs enormous proof and to me that simply doesn't make sense, as even entirely non-cultural beings die.
