Cumulative cultural evolution occurs when:

A) a mutated gene is passed from one generation to the next.
B) an acquired biological adaptation is passed from one generation to another.
C) one generation modifies the information passed on from previous generations.
D) each generation learns something for itself, not from the previous generation.

Cumulative Cultural Evolution

The process by which cultures accumulate changes over time, leading to the development and refinement of knowledge, technology, and social norms.

Mutated Gene

A gene that has undergone a change in its DNA sequence, which can affect the gene's function.

Biological Adaptation

The process through which organisms adjust and evolve to become better suited to their environment over time.
