Skinner suggests that cultural evolution is a way to describe the aggregate of (operant) behavior. A culture is a collection of behavior, or practices.<ref>Skinner, B.F. Beyond  Freedom and Dignity.  p.131</ref> Skinner addresses "[[social Darwinism]]" and argues that as a justification of the subordination of other nations or of war competition with others is a small part of natural selection. A much more important part is competition with the physical environment itself.<ref>Skinner, B.F. Beyond  Freedom and Dignity.  p.133</ref> Skinner relates the idea of cultural evolution back to the question of values: whose values are to survive?
