Cultural traits and cultural integration
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 29 (4):357-358 (2006)
Abstract
Modern efforts to model cultural transmission have struggled to identify a unit of cultural transmission and particular transmission processes. Anthropologists of the early twentieth century discussed cultural traits as units of transmission equivalent to recipes (rules and ingredients) and identified integration as a signature process and effect of transmission.
