Cultural transmission (CT) is the reproduction of information and practices in the forms of ideas, behaviours, and/or materials through social learning among intra-generational individuals, between societies, and from one generation to the next. Therefore, CT is fundamental to human experience. The topic of CT has received increasing interest in many disciplines, such as biology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and education. Anthropologists in all subfields are well-equipped with rich data to contribute to methodological and theoretical building in this field.
