One of the primary principles of evolutionary psychology is that “Our modern skulls house a stone age mind”
Our minds are made by (essentially) stone-age genes, but they import up-to-date memes—and are a product of influences from both sources.
So: our minds are actually pretty radically different from stone-age minds—because they have downloaded and are running a very different set of brain-software routines. This influence of memes explains why modern society is so different from the societies present in the stone age.
