Bob,
I'm puzzled by your distinction between 'neural mechanisms' and 'memetic
structures.'
Wouldn't memetic structures be assemblies of neural mechanisms?
Wouldn't cultural replication from parent to child depend on the parent's
ability to guide the child's neural development in such a way to produce
acceptible behavior given the cultural context?
