The potential for a rapid rate of cultural evolution compared to genetic change raises an important possibility: in humans, genetic adaptation to new environments or genetic responses to environmental shifts may be preceded by much more rapid cultural adaptation4. Indeed, the ability of modern humans...
learned behavior has been demonstrated for many species, including nonhuman primates, but in humans has become the dominant means of adaptation (particularly through symbolic culture), and recent human evolution can be seen as the evolution of the increasing capacity for complex cultural adaptation. C...

Populations of vultures in Africa have experienced a rapid decline over recent decades, with some species suffering losses of more than 90%. Various forms of human pressures have been identified as the causes of this decline. However, very little is know
We find that in many cases persistence through adaptation is the key. This adaptation can enhance human dignity by preserving and prioritizing broadly cherished cultural practices and beliefs, promoting both cultural aspects conducive to economic growth, and encouraging applications of wealth to underwrite...
We then outline a step-by-step process for designing a study of group-level cultural adaptation, including the major methodological considerations that researchers should address in study design, such as tradeoffs between validity and control, issues of time scale, and the value of both qualitative...
Cumulative cultural evolution, the accumulation of sequential changes within a single socially learned behaviour that results in improved function, is prominent in humans and has been documented in experimental studies of captive animals and managed wild populations. Here, we provide evidence that cumulati...
