In the field of evolutionary biology, it is widely known that the culture also evolves. Yet, the way of culture inherit is not enough known. Moreover, it is important for the understand of cultural evolution to assimilate the analogy and difference between cultural evolution and gene-based evolution. I am going to introduce my work about the cultural evolution of hinoeuma . Also I want to introduce the product of Sforza and Feldman who developed the way of inheritance, Boyd and Richerson who study the bias and Lumsden and Wilson who invented a double inheritance theory. They cut cultural evolution evolution open and their way is now widely using.
