Popis Author of the book Contemporary Evolutionary Theories of Culture and the Study of Religion will present main arguments and conclusions of his analysis of contemporary evolutionary study of religion. When comparing the notion of evolution in cultural evolutionary theories with neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory to determine the value of the biological concept for studying culture, he concludes that contemporary theories of cultural evolution do not repeat the same mistakes as classical cultural evolutionists but that when they are evaluated in terms of fitting the core requirements of neo-Darwinian natural selection, it is clear that they are not legitimate extensions of neo-Darwinian theory. He also introduces an alternative evolutionary approach to the study of culture which does not claim that the principles of neo-Darwinian evolution should be applicable outside the biological domain and shows that this alternative evolutionary approach provides a deeply enriching line of enquiry.
