Runaway brain‐culture coevolution as a reason for larger brains: Exploring the “cultural drive” hypothesis by computer modeling

Abstract Scale and tempo of brain expansion in the course of human evolution implies that this process was driven by a positive feedback. The “cultural drive” hypothesis suggests a possible mechanism for the runaway brain‐culture coevolution wherein high‐fidelity social learning results in accumulat...
