The book gives a more complete explanation of these issues and includes a number of related topic discussions. The combination develops the understanding of these concepts from a number of viewpoints.
The genetics of culture is in the stories we tell.
The stories are the genes of culture.
As we tell the stories we are guaranteeing the replication of the culture.
How they are woven into the society is the DNA.
The necessity for the mythical portion in stories is that our minds live in dualism; whether the physical universe is dualistic or not.Stories are not transferable between cultures because the myth is typed (e. g. King Arthur, Daniel Boon, Sun Yat-sen, Gandhi).
Understanding culture requires that we recognize the meaning of those stories as they are woven into the fabric of the society.To understand the culture we must understand the myth.
The story becomes more important as it comes closer to the physical center of the group.
The story becomes even more important as it come closer to the mythical center of the group.
These ideas are developed from the Social Development Theory of Lev Vygotsky. Cognitive development is based on the concept of genetics.
