The evolution of prestige: freely conferred deference as a mechanism for enhancing the benefits of cultural transmission.
TL;DR: It is argued that a wider range of phenomena associated with prestige processes can more plausibly be explained by this simple theory than by others, and its predictions are tested with data from throughout the social sciences.

A dual inheritance model of the human evolutionary process I: Basic postulates and a simple model
Peter J. Richerson,Robert Boyd +1 more
TL;DR: An elementary theory to explain how cultural inheritance affects the evolutionary process is developed, formally a two- person variable sum game in which genes and culture compete to control phenotype, although the conservatively Neo-Darwinian capacity-for-culture assumption ensures that culture will benefit genotype.
