Clarity on Memetics #2

If it is not about "survival of the fittest" eugenics or developmental-stage theories of historical progress, what the hell is a Darwinian theory of social and cultural change?
There are three broad forms:
1.       Gene-based biological (sociobiology, evolutionary psychology and human behavioral ecology)
2.       Social learning and imitation, meme-based sociocultural
3.       Dual inheritance or gene-culture coevolution

After a brief definition of each, the next question would be, what are the major differences between these theories and are they commensurate or in conflict?
