N2  - Literature, music, mathematics, art, are constituents of culture and each of 
them has its separate history. But each of them can also be seen as a 
manifestation of a human biological drive, a drive towards exploration, 
experimentation, the analysis of human perception. Culture is not something 
separate from human evolution but a part of a continuing human evolution, indeed 
the main form which human evolution has taken over the last few thousand years. 
It is a familiar idea, but perhaps a wrong one, that human evolution, as a 
Darwinian process, has ceased and been replaced by something quite new, a more 
Lamarckian process involving the inheritance of acquired characteristics, more 
specifically of the changing forms of human culture. On this see for example 
Dawkins(1986), or Huxley(1926).
