Human Social and Cultural Evolution

Human social and cultural evolution refers to how human societies, behaviors, beliefs, and practices change and develop over time. Unlike biological evolution, which involves physical changes, cultural evolution involves learning, innovation, and sharing knowledge across generations. This process has led to diverse languages, customs, technologies, and social structures, shaping the way humans interact and live. It occurs through adaptation to environments, interactions with others, and the accumulation of collective knowledge, ultimately allowing societies to become more complex and better equipped to meet their members’ needs.
