cultural selection
Cultural selection refers to the process through which certain ideas, behaviors, or practices are favored and perpetuated within a society or culture, while others may be discarded or fade away over time. It mirrors the concept of natural selection in biology, where advantageous traits are preserved and passed on, shaping the evolution and development of a culture.
