“darwinistisk kulturevolusjon”, or just “DKE”), evolutionary
psychology is here seen as a fruitful approach to answering
why some widely observed cultural phenomena appear more
easily transmitted than others.
Evolutionary archaeology does not claim to offer an
exclusive explanation to cultural change. On the contrary,
other theoretical approaches – like agency theory or chaîne
opératoire, to name a few – can complement or correct the
urgekÝe" gzrgevcvkqpu" qwvnkpgf" d{" FMG0" Vjku" ku" dgecwug" vjg"
analogy from biological evolution to human cultural change
is just that; an analogy. It cannot adopt the straightforward
causality of genetic inheritance and mutation. However, the
uekgpvkÝe"tkiqwt"qh"Fctykpkuo" still translates keenly to the
study of cultural evolution.
The social sciences harbour a deep suspicion towards
Darwinism. The many twisted misuses of evolutionary theory
in previous centuries have turned it into a dirty word. The
article argues that the impact of postprocessual thought
on Scandinavian archaeology, which in part positioned
itself through an ideological critique of Darwinism, still
hinders the application of evolutionary ideas. In particular,
the notion of reductionism has made archaeologists wary
of studying human behaviour in light of naturalism or
generality. Yet, cautiously applied reductionism is useful in
explaining certain historical dynamics.

Over the last 40 years, evolutionary approaches
to human behaviour and culture have been
gathering pace (Ncncpf" cpf" Dtqyp" 4224),
and it is with excitement that I see these ideas
being taken up, albeit slowly, by Scandinavian
archaeologists.

Two important points are worth highlighting
here: First, the idiosyncratic and sometimes
innovative elements individuals integrate
into their own toolmaking repertoires are not
necessarily those they pass on to their own
