#56 — Just to clarify, I believe in biological evolution; i also believe in cultural evolution; it’s clear to me the former cannot explain the latter: any student of history can tell you there is no way to explain history biologically.

I’m not as sure as you are. For instance there’s this:

The point being that since we’re still evolving biologically it would be difficult for you to separate the point at which you assume cultural evolution takes precedence. Note that I didn’t say “impossible.” I said “difficult.”
