Faking the News: Intentional Guided Variation Reflects Cognitive Biases in Transmission Chains Without Recall by Stubbersfield Joseph, Tehrani Jamshid, Flynn Emma

“…While copying error is directly analogous to genetic mutation, guided variation is a specifically cultural process that does not have a close parallel in biological evolution. It has been suggested that the decision-making processes underlying intentional guided variation may produce similar results to cultural transmission as both are likely to be influenced by cognitive biases. …”
