Hmmm. That would make behaviors such a learning our first language a meme.
It would include all the hardwired behaviors we inherit as members of the
human race. All humans have a predisposition to learn language. Somehow
that doesn't distinguish memes from inherited behaviors. Are there any
other characteristics that would distinguish them further?
