Evolution occurs when:
1) entities exist and replicate
2) changes occur during replication
3) selection processes pertain that mean some entities replicate more than others
If culture meets those criteria then it is evolving. That may not help you understand the details or make any useful predictions. You probably need all kinds of additional models and theories to get to grips with culture. There may be other non-evolution processes happening as well. But to decide if it is evolving, just determine if these criteria apply, and you are done.
