Cuban sociologist Fernando Ortiz coined the term "transculturation" to describe how cultures merge when groups of people interact. He argued that when cultures come into contact, aspects of both are taken in by the other and new cultural expressions emerge through a process of deculturation and neoculturation. Ortiz maintained that transculturation is how living cultures evolve through reciprocal exchange and influences between different peoples.
