Models of gene-culture evolution are incomplete without incorporating epigenetic effects

Gillian Ragsdale et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

Epigenetics impacts gene-culture coevolution by amplifying phenotypic variation, including clustering, and bridging the difference in timescales between genetic and cultural evolution. The dual inheritance model described by Uchiyama et al. could be modified to provide greater explanatory power by incorporating epigenetic effects.
