Cultural transmission can be roughly defined as the transfer of information between individuals by social learning (see below). Genes used to be, and for most species still are, the only means available for the accurate transfer of information across generations. In species where cultural transmission has developed, notably the human, interactions can occur between the two inheritance systems. Gene-culture coevolution refers to the evolutionary phenomena that arise from these interactions. As we shall see, these interactions can take various forms.
文化传播大致可定义为通过社会学习在个体之间传递信息（见下文）。基因曾经是，而且对于大多数物种来说现在仍然是跨代准确传递信息的唯一可用方式。在文化传播已经发展的物种中，尤其是人类，两种遗传系统之间会发生相互作用。基因 - 文化共同进化指的是由这些相互作用产生的进化现象。正如我们将看到的，这些相互作用可以采取多种形式。
