摘　　要：From babbling in childhood to reading for the first time,humans continuously accumulate knowledge through social learning.Culture is transmitted and evolves across generations,and this cultural evolution necessitates the social transmission of information.Consequently,social learning is central to the emergence of culture and serves as a natural starting point for studying cultural evolution.Beneficial changes within a culture spread and gradually accumulate over time,a process known as cumulative cultural evolution(CCE).This phenomenon is widely regarded as a critical factor in human success,as it allows for the continuous improvement and sophistication of cultural practices,tools,and knowledge across generations(Tomasello 1999).
