In his excellent blog [1], Alberto Acerbi draws attention to three recent books on cultural evolution:<\/p>\n

“Tim Lewens\u2019 Cultural Evolution [2] (Oxford University Press) is an excellent take on the theoretical background of cultural evolutionary studies… In sum, a very important reading for anyone seriously interested in cultural evolution.”<\/p>\n

“Joe Henrich\u2019s The Secret of Our Success … [3] is a very good overview of the \u201cstandard\u201d cultural evolution approach, i.e. the approach developed by Robert Boyd and Peter Richerson and various colleagues starting from the 80s of the last Century.”<\/p>\n

“Olivier Morin\u2019s How Traditions Live and Die… [4] is an absolute must read for everybody interested in the study of culture.”<\/p>\n
