A vast majority of theoretical perspectives on cultural evolution see the process of creation as essential for understanding this evolution. However, despite the importance they assign to creation, none of the existing perspective has succeeded in rendering the process of creation intelligible. As a result, despite many interesting points that theoretician of culture make, they do not provide a clear explanation of the process that makes this evolution possible. This study attempts to fill in this gap. Its main arguments and explanations are based on a theoretical perspective that renders the process of creation intelligible. The study also provides an example of how its theoretical perspective illuminates the course of the evolution of civilization.
