Darwin's work is based on the fact that life continues only through reproduction of parents, and that it stops at the death of the organism.

That is a great simplifying factor.

Once you start discussing the evolution of information that is not fixed to this simple pattern. Information that can be taught, for example, becomes very hard to analyse because the inheritence and synthesis is chaotic. The study of memes is quite interesting, but it has much less predictive power than the study of genes because it's so difficult to know with certainty the parentage of an idea nor how many other ideas are blended in any particular concept.
