- strogonoff 5y agoWhat makes you so sure it’s different for humans and all that isn’t merely an elaborate way of post-rationalizing our gene-driven behavior?
- 7952 5y agoWell yes human culture depends on our genes. You couldn't have the Beatles without the traits that allow music to exist. But the reproduction of those new ideas is not sex based. That is different and can happen much more quickly than evolution. The song of a bird could take thousands of years to change. Humans can make new music in a day that builds on previous culture. But untangling this all is really interesting.
