How do culture evolve over time?

Culture evolves over time through a dynamic process of adaptation, innovation, and transmission. As societies encounter new ideas, technologies, and experiences, they integrate these influences into their existing cultural frameworks, leading to changes in beliefs, practices, and values. Additionally, interactions among different cultures—through migration, trade, and communication—facilitate the exchange and blending of cultural elements. Over generations, these processes result in a continually shifting cultural landscape that reflects both continuity and change.
