I suggest that we should distinguish between weak and strong group-level traits. It is the latter that are especially problematic for developing models of cultural evolution. Using Campbell's notion of vicarious selection mechanisms, I argue that these mechanisms become intertwined with other group-level traits resulting in selection-transmission thickets that are obstacles to modeling cultural evolution.
我建议我们应该区分弱的和强的群体层面特征。正是后者给发展文化进化模型带来了特别的问题。我利用坎贝尔（Campbell）的替代选择机制概念，认为这些机制与其他群体层面特征交织在一起，导致选择-传递的纠结，成为文化进化建模的障碍。
