Memetics

Memetics is the scientific study of memes—units of cultural information that replicate, mutate, and evolve through communication and imitation.

This project explores the mechanisms by which ideas, behaviors, and symbols propagate within and between populations, drawing on concepts from evolutionary biology, information theory, and cognitive science.

We analyze the dynamics of cultural transmission, selection, and adaptation, aiming to map the processes that underlie the spread and persistence of beliefs, traditions, and social norms.

Memetics provides tools and resources for researchers and practitioners interested in understanding the quantitative and qualitative patterns of cultural evolution.
