The Cultural Evolutionary Psychology

Cultural evolutionary psychology studies how human behaviors, beliefs, and customs develop and spread through societies over time, similar to biological evolution. It examines how cultural traits change via processes like imitation, innovation, and selection, influencing our psychology and social life. This approach helps us understand why different cultures have diverse practices and how they adapt to environmental and social challenges, shaping human nature beyond biology alone. Essentially, it views culture and psychology as interconnected, evolving together to shape human experience.
