Has Culture Overtaken Genes in Human Evolution?

> Now some scientists claim in a new paper that culture has actually overtaken genetics as the leading force shaping human evolution, marking a major shift. [The scientists] argue that our cultural practices now spread faster than our genes can, allowing us to quickly adapt and problem-solve.

Wasn't this pretty clear for a while now? Like, at least sometime around when Richard Dawkins coined the word "meme", at the latest?

> Waring and Wood also suggest that as culture becomes increasingly important to human survival and reproduction, we will evolve to become even more group-oriented and group-dependent, potentially changing the human condition entirely. If this happens, we will become societal “superorganisms” that adapt through cultural change, they suggest.

This, on the other hand, sounds less settled and more interesting.
