The may not be a Gatherer-meme, but it's close to a Benzon
cultural-phenotype. Note, however, that I regard the cultural phenotype as
the joint product of many memes (G-memes). It's not anything like a
one-to-one correspondence between memes in the external world and the
cultural phenotypes in the mind/brain.
