DD: The Evolution of Culture by David Deutsch says a bunch of stuff about cultural evolution, which also connect potently with The Secret of Our Success by Joseph Henrich
- DD: The Evolution of Culture talks more about the implications on a meaning level
- The Secret of Our Success talks more about the implications on a biological level
- both talk about the role of rationality and how it relates to memes, in different ways
- and both talk about ways in which the culture itself can "know" things the individuals don't, and the implications that has for things like rationality, creativity, etc
