Memes are, by definition, meant to be shared and reshared. Though they’re most commonly associated with funny internet pics these days, they have always been a core part of human interactions throughout history. They’re how ideas spread.
As reported by the BBC, memes are pieces of cultural information that are passed between and within groups.

And, just like living things, memes also constantly evolve and fight for survival, at least according to biologist and author Richard Dawkins, who coined the term ‘meme’ back in 1976, in his book, The Selfish Gene.
