    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    “Dual Inheritance Theory (DIT), also known as Gene-Culture Coevolution, was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s to explain how human behavior is a product of two different and interacting evolutionary processes: genetic evolution and cultural evolution. DIT is a “middle-ground” between much of social science, which views culture as the primary cause of human behavioral variation, and human sociobiology and evolutionary psychology which view culture as an insignificant by-product of genetic selection. In DIT, culture is defined as information in human brains that got there by social learning. Cultural evolution is considered a Darwinian selection process “…. :lol: soul be said…little leo.nard

    You “crack” me up! I love this edition of Hot For Words! And I feel for you regarding keeping up with the apple products…. :wink:

    “Keeping up with the Joneses” was also the catch phrase for the 3rd installment of Indiana Jones featuring his dad Henry in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”.

    Keep up the great work. :cool:

    If one is in cahoots with another,

    does that make them cahooters?

    It’s very difficult to keep up with the Joneses.
    Giant bugs, ancient tombs, crafty French guys,
    not to mention Nazis, gun-fire, explosions, knights,
    divine intervention and Russian refridgerators!

    I am always way behind the Joneses. When I was a kid I still had an Atari while everyone else had a Nintendo.

    growing up, my family were the “Joneses” of the neighborhood. Our next door neighbors always went out and bought something immediately after my folks did and the kids in the neighborhood all came to our house to hang and play pool or just chill in the media room. As a kid I never understood this! I never veiwed our family as wealthy or as the”Joneses”. I never knew how good we had it until I got older and left home at 18 to live on my own. My folks never spoiled us and I always had a job from the age of 14 on. My parents just wanted us to be happy as we got older. They never put alot of importance on money. So we just thought we were like everyone else. My family is very loving and openminded and very crunchy and green. Certainly not the “jerks” that some people might perceive them to be due to their financial gains………. Thanks Cecily M :wink:

    I recently read an about the many uses of the word ‘up’. It went on something like this. I looked up her up on a web site to she what she was up to. And so on.

    seems like it would be a challenge to cover up usage in one lesson. Cover ‘up’ usage, not cover up.
