> Cultural "evolution" has nothing to do with actual evolution. I can't imagine this could be strictly true. It's not as if human's social capacity turned on one day at full capacity, and the social hardware was complete. I do think it's fair to say that society evolves at a different pace given the capabilities of our current social software, but all such change is still underpinned by biological evolution before it. I sometimes wonder how far we can go as a species before we start malfunctioning widely, e.g. recent study [0] about schizophrenia that finds it non-existent in hunter/gatherer societies, and city living potentially playing a factor for some individuals. - [0] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763422003839 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976342...
