In evolution, there's just inheritance - and its transmission, variation, and selection. "Inside" and "outside" are not concepts that play a significant role. What can be inherited internally" could equally well be inherited "externally" - without affecting the dynamics of the information flows involved. "Inside" and "outside" are mere geography.
