    Robin:
    But even you, Derek, can surely have no problem with the suggestion that
    our genetically inherited tendencies form a very significant part of the
    environment in which memes either survive or fail to do so.

    Derek:
    No I have no problem with that. Or at least, it depends on the extent to
    which genes hold culture 'on the leash'. I'd say 'significant' where you
    say 'very significant'.
