Document Summary
A set of genes on one hand. A set of cultural practices from the past generation. Niche construction: a modi ed environment as a result of genes. Cultural transmission, cultural evolution, and the ratchet effect. Human populations share learned traditions that are expressed in cultural practices, and. Cultural practices (may) modify natural selection processes in human environments, so that. Culture may interact and have genetic changes - it is true in figure 10. 4. Just because ns is operating on one gene pool in this generation and a modi ed gene pool in the next, doesn"t mean there cannot be any genetic drift between generations. Figure 10. 5 inheritance gene pool) so environmental inheritance will be changed as well (reciprocal) that operate on the organism/phenotypes. Prime indicator of niche construction theory is both ecological inheritance and genetic. Niche construction causes the environment to change just as genes change (differences in.
