Memetic evolution
Theory of evolution is applicable not only to genetics, but to any multiplex informational system, notably memetics. The culture of our society is to memetics what the gene pool of our race is to genetics. Both obey very similar laws; the difference is that in memetics, selection is done by humanity, while in genetics, selection is done by nature. Languages, norms and laws have all evolved much like mammals or birds or fish.
