I’ve been discussing this for some time now. One of the first things to get out of the way is the notion of “Natural” selection. Nature has changed, some say it no longer exists. However, the notion of how selection works in a Darwinian framework still applies to artificial selection; as seen in Dog evolution. These principles still apply to culture, as they do to markets, and species. Of course the time scales are vastly different, but cultures and civilizations evolve at much greater rates than to biological systems. Domestic animals are especially interesting because they are a perfect blend of cultural and biological selection manifesting themselves. I’m currently exploring the other side of this coin: the blending of cultural and technological selection as it applies to the homo sapien. Or more simply stated, the evolution of Man™
