    According  to memetics, our minds and cultures are designed by natural selection  acting on memes, just as organisms are designed by natural selection  acting on genes. A central question for memetics is therefore ‘why  has this meme survived?’. Some succeed because they are genuinely  useful to us, while others use a variety of tricks to get themselves  copied. From the point of view of the “selfish memes” all that  matters is replication, regardless of the effect on either us or our  genes.

  • About Memes
  • The  term meme (it's pronounced like dream or cream) was coined by  Richard Dawkins, Professor  of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, in  his 1976 book   The Selfish Gene.  As examples  he suggested “tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of  making pots or of building arches”. 
  • Memes  are habits, skills, songs, stories, or any other kind of information  that is copied from person to person. Memes, like genes, are  replicators. That is, they are information that is copied with  variation and selection. Because only some of the variants survive,  memes (and hence human cultures) evolve. Memes are copied by  imitation, teaching and other methods, and they compete for space in  our memories and for the chance to be copied again. Large groups of  memes that are copied and passed on together are called co-adapted  meme complexes, or memeplexes.
