Ingold (again) neo-darwinism as an explanatory framework. Ingold again criticizes neo-dar(cid:449)i(cid:374)is(cid:373), a(cid:374)d the (cid:272)lai(cid:373) that (cid:448)ariatio(cid:374) u(cid:374)der (cid:374)atural sele(cid:272)tio(cid:374) is both necessary and sufficient to explain the evolution of things (either biological or cultural). How prevalent is this neo-dar(cid:449)i(cid:374)is(cid:373) he(cid:859)s dis(cid:272)ussi(cid:374)g? (built i(cid:374)to the di(cid:448)isio(cid:374) of biological and. Cultures do not persist through transmission they cannot be reduced to information. Rather, cultures and communities emerge in practice, and are rebuilt in the actions and experiences of each generation. Ontogenesis: the development from an organism from fertilization through all life processes. Neo-darwinism (the fusion of mendelian genetics and natural selection) assumed a direct relationship between the genotype and phenotype.
