In a previous study we used the same model to establish the evolutionary attractors in different environmental conditions, and determine the payoffs and information production associated with different social learning mechanisms . These parameters define foraging and different (social) learning mechanisms in the foragers. The evolved learning parameters are exploration (ε i), stimulus enhancement (γ i) and observational learning (ω i and τ i). The evolved foraging parameters (δ i, σ i, ϕ i, λ i) ensure that the foraging and reinforcement learning parameters are not arbitrarily defined, but have co-evolved with the main parameters of interest. Here we studied whether and how these evolved parameters lead to traditional differences between groups (cultural variation) and cumulative cultural change in energy intake.
