Get the equine genes mug.The concept that a community—whether biological (like a coral reef) or human (like a neighborhood)—possesses inheritable, mutable units of cultural, behavioral, or structural information that function analogously to biological genes. These "community genes" or memes/traditions (e.g., a shared irrigation practice, a conflict-resolution ritual, a design for communal housing) are passed down, recombined, and mutated across generations of community members. The theory applies evolutionary logic to social cohesion, suggesting communities evolve by retaining adaptive "genes" and discarding maladaptive ones.
Community Gene Theory Example: An intentional eco-village has a "community gene" for a weekly shared meal where disputes are aired and resolved. This tradition (a behavioral gene) is passed to new members, mutates (maybe becoming a bi-weekly meeting), and proves adaptive by reducing internal strife. A neighboring village without this "gene" fractures over unresolved conflicts, demonstrating Community Gene Theory in action.
