Centre for the Study of Cultural Evolution

The Centre for the Study of Cultural Evolution is a research organization that explores how human culture—including ideas, behaviors, and beliefs—develops and changes over time. It combines insights from fields like anthropology, psychology, and biology to understand how cultural traits spread, persist, or fade. By studying cultural evolution, the Centre aims to uncover the mechanisms behind human social change, offering insights into how societies grow and adapt, much like biological evolution but focused on ideas and practices instead of genes.
