Resumen
El presente ensayo tiene como objetivo demostrar que la cultura humana se ha encontrado siempre bajo un proceso de evolución continuo en el cual los mecanismos que conducen la evolución biológica son también patentes en la evolución cultural. Para ello, se revisaron los procesos que actualmente se sabe influyen en la evolución de las especies para así identificar puntos de analogía con los cambios suscitados en las distintas culturas que en nuestra historia hemos registrado. Con esto se comprende mejor el origen de la amplia variabilidad cultural proponiéndose finalmente que la pérdida de esta puede representar un riesgo para la supervivencia de nuestra especie de manera similar al riesgo que representa la pérdida de diversidad biológica.
