Cultural evolution

Cultural evolution is how cultures change over time. It's how people's values and beliefs, as well as their behavior and language, evolve as time goes on. For example, a hundred years ago, people in some parts of the world only communicated verbally. But today, with the internet and various forms of technology, people can communicate with each other virtually all over the world. That's a type of cultural evolution.
