如果不纳入表观遗传效应，基因-文化进化模型就是不完整的。

Abstract

Epigenetics impacts gene-culture coevolution by amplifying phenotypic variation, including clustering, and bridging the difference in timescales between genetic and cultural evolution. The dual inheritance model described by Uchiyama et al. could be modified to provide greater explanatory power by incorporating epigenetic effects.

摘要

表观遗传学通过放大表型变异（包括聚类），并弥合遗传和文化进化之间在时间尺度上的差异，从而影响基因-文化共同进化。Uchiyama 等人所描述的双重遗传模型可以通过纳入表观遗传效应进行修改，以提供更大的解释力。
