Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.

Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection

Summary

This quote suggests that just as natural selection plays a crucial role in the evolution of species, it also plays a significant role in the evolution of cultures. It implies that the development and progression of cultures are not solely determined by human agency, but rather influenced by the process of natural selection. Historians, therefore, need to acknowledge and consider the impact of natural selection when studying the transformations and behaviors of different cultures throughout history.
