A Replicated Typo was originally your standard wordpress blog dedicated to the non-standard theme of evolutionary linguistics. Its original author, James Winters, recently (July 2010) decided to buy his own host, get a decent domain and expand his list of contributors. Those currently writing for the blog include Sean Roberts, Hannah Little, Michael Pleyer, Anne Pritchard, Richard Littauer and Bill Benzon.

Hey All,
first, i really enjoy the blog. thanks for the great content!
second, for people out of the academic loop on cultural evolution could you guys possibly compile a list of important people working on cultural evolution/transmission that anyone interested in the topic should check out? Also, a must read book list on the topic would be appreciated.
Hey Alex,
I’ve been planning to offer a library-like resource for a while now… Now there is a demand, albeit of one-person, I’ll put together something soonish. Keep your eyes peeled. For now, if I could offer three papers, then the first is on cultural evolution in general: Toward a unified science of Cultural Evolution by Mesoudi, Whiten and Laland (2006). For the second, it’s more language-specific, but it really sets out a good background for cultural evolutionary processes in language: Language is a Complex Adaptive System by Beckner et al (2009). Lastly, for a good introduction into the evolution of language, look no further than Simon Kirby’s work The Evolution of Language (2007)… And, as an extra bonus, you should also take a peak at Luc Steel’s stuff: Self-organization and Selection in the Cultural Language Evolution (in press)
