"La evolución cultural no obedece las leyes de la genética."
— Daniel dennett
Simplified Meaning:
People change and grow in ways that are not controlled by their DNA. How we behave, what we believe, and how our societies develop are shaped by things we learn and experience, rather than by our genetic makeup. For example, the way we communicate has changed dramatically with technology like the internet and smartphones, but this shift wasn't caused by changes in our genes. Instead, it's because we create new tools and ideas and share them with each other. This means that cultures can evolve much faster than biological evolution, which takes many generations. People can adopt new customs, learn different languages, and change traditions based on new information or experiences, showing that cultural growth is driven by what we do and learn, not by our inherited genes.
