cultural evolution and cultural adaptations

Cultural evolution refers to the process of modification and transmission of ideas, beliefs, behaviors, and customs within a community over time, leading to changes in the overall culture. It involves the continuous development and adaptation of cultural traits through social learning, innovation, and selection. Cultural adaptations, on the other hand, refer to the specific modifications and adjustments made by a society or group within a culture to better suit their environment or circumstances. These adaptations can include changes in practices, technologies, rituals, values, or social structures that enable individuals to cope with the challenges and demands of their surroundings and improve their chances of survival and success.
