Evolving Systems course, week 5: from biological to cultural change

Welcome to the course forum area for Making Sense of Ourselves in an Evolving Universe, an Emily Balch Seminar being offered to first-year students @ Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2010.
This is a conversational place intended for thoughts-in-progress, and you are  free to write about anything you found interesting in our class last week. But if you need something to get you started....: we're moving on now, from looking @ change in the universe, in geology, and in biological systems, to thinking about the changes that take place in human cultures. What sorts of links did you expect to see, or not, between changes in the physical world and other kinds of change?  To what extent do you think that cultural change has patterns and explanations similar to those involved in cosmological, geological, and biological changes?
