You are studying how tools have evolved through cultural evolution. You find several instances where groups with very different technologies meet and there is a transfer of technology from one group to the other. This is analogous to what process in biological evolution

This question lacks options, options are: genetic drift, natural selection, Mendelian inheritance, horizontal gene transfer. The correct answer is ''Horizontal gene transfer''

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer is a phenomenon of genetic exchange not linked to reproduction, in which genetic material is transferred between organisms without a relationship of descent. In it, an organism transfers genes or genomes to isolated cells or eukaryotic organisms, apart from sexual reproduction, that is, to an organism or cell that is not its descendant. The horizontal transmission of genes is a very efficient mechanism of evolution over the centuries. Thanks to this series of mechanisms, some of the original living beings could have “advanced” in the evolutionary scale, creating new genetic manifestations and taking those genes from other organisms with high biological efficiency.
