  abstract = {Assuming culture is transmitted horizontally (via imitation) a
             model was constructed to determine the conditions under which
             culture can dominate genetic evolution ("get off the leash"
             according to Blackmore). Two requirements were found: (1) culture
             must compete with genes (required only for the effect to be
             empirically testable); and (2) Interactions between individuals
             must be confined to small groups or neighbourhoods. The model was
             tested via analysis and simulation.},
