Memetic evolution, not genetic.

In your earlier comment you said "evolution requires selection pressure". There is of course selection pressure in memetic evolution. Completely eliminating memetic selection pressure is not even wrong - because memetic selection is closely connected to learning or knowledge creation. You can't get rid of it.
