Memetalk on Instagram: "“meme” was first introduced by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene.

Memes on Instagram: "😜🤘 when were memes invented The term "meme" was first introduced by Richard Dawkins, a British social scientist, in his book The Selfish Gene in 1976.

Dawkins uses this term to define the birth of culture with the assumption that culture is the formation of many replicators. Meanwhile, the first meme on th
