B.1 Stability of the $B_1$ equilibrium with culture

To determine the stability of this equilibrium, I calculated the characteristic equation for the system given by Equations 7 and 8 evaluated where $y_{f11} = y_{m11} = 1$.

λ832(1+bmμ)3(1+bfμ)4(2(1+bmμ)λ1)((1+bfμ)λ1) \frac{\lambda^8}{32(1+b_m-\mu)^3(1+b_f-\mu)^4} \left(2(1+b_m-\mu)\lambda-1\right) \left((1+b_f-\mu)\lambda-1\right)

(2(1+bfμ)λ1)(2(1+bmμ)(1+bfμ)λ(2+bm+bf2μ)) \left(2(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda-1\right) \left(2(1+b_m-\mu)(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda - (2+b_m+b_f-2\mu)\right)

(4(1+bmμ)(1+bfμ)λ22(1+bmμ)(2+bfμ)λ+(bmμ))=0 \left(4(1+b_m-\mu)(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda^2 - 2(1+b_m-\mu)(2+b_f-\mu)\lambda + (b_m-\mu)\right) = 0

Explicit expressions for the eigenvalues can be found, though the eigenvalues resulting from the cubic factor of the characteristic polynomial are difficult to evaluate symbolically. Therefore, I evaluated the eigenvalues numerically by substituting the values for $b_f - \mu$, and $b_m - \mu$ explored in the main text. Figure B.1 shows a close correspondence between the region where this equilibrium is stable and where $B_1$ and the cultural trait go to fixation in the numerical simulations in the main text.

B.2 Stability of the $B_2$ equilibrium with culture in females

To determine the stability of this equilibrium, I calculated the characteristic equation for the system given by Equations 7 and 8 evaluated where $y_{f21} = y_{m20} = 1$.

λ832(1+bfμ)4(2λ(2+bmμ))((1+bfμ)λ1) \frac{\lambda^8}{32(1+b_f-\mu)^4} \left(2\lambda - (2+b_m-\mu)\right) \left((1+b_f-\mu)\lambda - 1\right)

(4(1+bfμ)λ2+2(1+(1+bmμ)(1+bfμ))λ(bmμ)) \left(-4(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda^2 + 2(1+(1+b_m-\mu)(1+b_f-\mu))\lambda - (b_m-\mu)\right)

(2(1+bfμ)λ(2+bfμ))(2(1+bfμ)λ1)=0 \left(2(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda - (2+b_f-\mu)\right) \left(2(1+b_f-\mu)\lambda - 1\right) = 0

I evaluated the resulting eigenvalues numerically by substituting the values of $b_f - \mu$ and
