Abstract
The teleological language in the target article is ill-advised, as it obscures the question of whether ecological and cultural inheritances are directed or random. The authors present a very broad palette of explanatory possibilities; evolutionary simulation models could help narrow down the processes important in a particular case. Examples of such models are offered in the areas of language change and the Baldwin effect.
