JimmyPage Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Having a lovely relaxed toke with my darling wife last night, it suddenly dawned on me that scientists are missing an important element of biological classification. We need to go: Genus, Species, *culture*. Stop for a second, and think how that applies to mankind. Species evolve to adapt to their environment. Cultures evolve to adapt to their local environment.

johnnyneuro Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Adopting a culture doesn't involve a change in the genome, and is thus not suitable for biological taxonomy. Culture is a meme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
