A generalized fundamental theorem of natural selection is derived for populations incorporating both genetic and cultural transmission. The phenotype is determined by an arbitrary number of multiallelic loci with two-factor epistasis and an arbitrary linkage map, as well as by cultural transmission from the parents. Generations are discrete but partially overlapping, and mating may be nonrandom at either the genotypic or the phenotypic level (or both). I show that cultural transmission has several important implications for the evolution of population fitness, most notably that there is a time lag in the response to selection such that the future evolution depends on the past selection history of the population.
针对包含基因和文化传递的种群，推导出了一个广义的自然选择基本定理。表型由任意数量的具有双因子上位性的多等位基因座和任意的连锁图谱以及父母的文化传递决定。世代是离散的但部分重叠，并且在基因型或表型水平（或两者）上交配可能是非随机的。我表明文化传递对种群适应性的进化有几个重要影响，最显著的是对选择的响应存在时间滞后，使得未来的进化取决于种群过去的选择历史。
