Cultural traditions and the evolution of reproductive isolation: ecological speciation in killer whales? (2012, background): “This has the potential to effectively change the selective pressures acting on cultural groups, so that cultural change could facilitate or pre-empt a genetic response, just as described for human enzymes (Simoons, 1978; Whitehead, 1998; Richerson & Boyd, 2005; Hawks et al., 2007; Perry et al., 2007”
