Darwinizing Culture

Dealing with the debate over the highly controversial field of memetics, this title features leading intellectuals, both supporters and opponents of meme theory, who state their case. It is intended for psychologists, biologists, philosophers, linguists, and anthropologists.

A stimulating snapshot of the state of memetics from the year 1999. I recommend it to anyone interested in the history and development of the field.

If you need a guide into the murky heat of memetics, look no further than the essays in Darwinizing Culture, which are a fine illustration of the murkiness at the heart of memetics, admirably framed by Bob Aunger's introduction and conclusion

Dr Robert Aunger completed his PhD in Anthopology at UCLA. He has taught at Nortwestern University, The University of Chicago, as well as Cambridge University. He has recently signed with Free Press (via agent John Brockman) to write a trade book entitled 'The Electric Meme)
