 Culture Evolution

Cultural evolution - is the idea that cultural change, that is

changes in socially acquired information such as
knowledge or beliefs, constitutes a Darwinian
evolutionary process that shares fundamental similarities
with (but also some differences to) Genetic evolution.
Darwinian Evolutionary
Darwinian Evolutionary is
created by
Charles Darwin

• was a British naturalist who

proposed the theory of
biological evolution by natural
selection.
 What is Darwinian Evolutionary?
• The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is natural selection.
Because resources are limited in nature, organisms with heritable traits
that favor survival and reproduction will tend to leave more offspring
than their peers, causing the traits to increase in frequency over
generations.

• Darwin proposed that species can change over time, that new species
come from pre-existing species, and that all species share a common
ancestor.
 Genetic Evolution
Evolution - as related to genomics, refers to the process
by which living organisms change over time through
changes in the genome. Such evolutionary changes result
from mutations that produce genomic variation, giving
rise to individuals whose biological functions or physical
traits are altered.
 SOCIO POLITICAL
EVOLUTION
Socio political evolution– The process by which
structural reorganization is affected through time,
eventually producing a form or structure which is
qualitatively different from the ancestral form.
6 Types of Society Evolution
• Foraging Society
• Pastoral Society
• Horticultural Society
• Agrarian Society
• Industrial Society
• Post industrial Society
1. Foraging Society
• Foraging society (or hunter-gatherer societies) contain
people who survive by collecting naturally occurring
resources and share social and cultural traits. Learn more
about foraging societies and explore the community size,
lack of structure, and exception that apply to fishing
societies

• In foraging communities – Humans generally lived in

family units, usually with no more than 20-50 people in
their groups. Foragers had to move around in order to
obtain more resources once one area had picked over.
2. Pastoral Society
• Pastoral societies are those a disproportionate subsistence
emphasis or herding domesticated livestock. Many horticultural,
agrarian, and industrial production systems incorporate
livestock. The most important defining criterion perhaps is the
organi-zation of community life around the needs of the herds .

• And caring for astos l society is a group of people who live

a nomadic or seme-nomadic lifestyle while also herding and
caring for agricultural animals.
3. Horticultural society
• A horticultural society is a society system based on non-
mechanized subsistence farming. Most evolved into
agrarian societies.

• Horticultural societies rely on simple tools to produce food.

Thus, one characteristic is that they use simple tools and not
mechinery or even animals like oxen. The second
characteristics of horticultural societies is that their farms are
not permanent, they oftenuse shifting cultivation.
4. Agrarian Society
• An agrarian society, or agricultural, is any community
whose economy is based on producing and maintaining
crops and farmland.

• Another way to defined an agrarian society is by seeing

how much of a nation’s total production is in agriculture.
5. Industrial society
• In sociology, an industrial society is a society
driven by the use of technology and machinery to
enable mass production, supporting a large
population with a high capacity for division of
labour.

• The industrial society is characterised by the

widespread use of technology and heavy
machinery to facilitate mass production and the
support of a large population with a high
capacity for division of labour.
6. Post - idustrial Society
• Post-industrial society is one that has transitioned from an
economy of goods to an economy of services and has
increased the rate of innovation and invention of new
technologies and explore their application. Many countries,
including United States, are in the post-industrial stage.

• Postindustrial society - marked by a transition from a

manufacturing-based economy to a service-based
economy, a transition that is also connected with
subsequent societal restructuring.
