Resumen:
In the Origins of Species Charles Darwin concluded that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution resulting from the accumulation of heritable variation preserved by natural selection. In the Descent of Man (1871) and by discussing the evolution of languages, Darwin asserted that cultural variants form genealogies by inheritance, and engage competitive relationships by which some variants proliferate whereas others become extinct. In this way Darwin clearly expanded the action of selection to culture. Thus, the contribution of Darwin to science was an inclusive and materialistic model of evolutionary change that encompasses everything which is subject to inheritance, variation, and differential replication.
