Terren, I would doubt that changes between cultures are best explained by an evolutionary process—cf. “No Evolutions for Corporations or Nanodevices.” There may be a selection effect in that cultures with guns are more likely to persist, but that’s different from saying that selection pressures play a really important role in designing the particular features of a culture. So I am given to understand.
