Some theorists say that not only do genes evolve; memes also evolve. Memes are 'good tricks' in the words of Daniel Dennett. They are such tricks as screwdrivers and religion and language. We don't need to reinvent the wheel in our lifetime, we are taught of the products of social and cultural evolution when we are children.

Memes are ideas that are transmitted down through the generations, we pass them on to our children as we pass our genes on to them.

Just something to think about...
