Human language as a culturally transmitted replicator by Mark Page

Human languages form a distinct and largely independent class of cultural replicators with behaviour and fidelity that can rival that of genes. Parallels between biological and linguistic evolution mean that statistical methods inspired by phylogenetics and comparative biology are being increasingly applied to study language. Phylogenetic trees constructed from linguistic elements chart the history of human cultures, and comparative studies reveal surprising and general features of how languages evolve, including patterns in the rates of evolution of language elements and social factors that influence temporal trends of language evolution. For many comparative questions of anthropology and human behavioural ecology, historical processes estimated from linguistic phylogenies may be more relevant than those estimated from genes.

Sure, I'd be happy to explain memetics to you. Memetics is a field of study that examines the transmission and evolution of cultural ideas and behaviors through imitation and replication, similar to how genes are passed down through generations. It is based on the concept of the "meme," which is a unit of cultural information that can be transmitted from one person to another through various means such as language, gestures, or symbols.

The study of memetics can help us understand how certain ideas or behaviors spread and become widespread in society. It also allows us to examine the impact of these ideas and behaviors on individuals and society as a whole.

In terms of how it works, memetics involves the study of the process of imitation and replication in the transmission of memes. This can include factors such as the frequency of exposure to a meme, the level of attention given to it, and the perceived value or relevance of the meme to the individual.

I hope this helps to clarify how memetics works. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
