Richard Dawkins, the Selfish Gene, 1976.
Pretty sure the example he gave in the book was kids making paper cranes in his elementary school. The impulse to do so and the various styles of origami would spread through schools, mutating as it did so; some designs winning out and surviving in the minds of schoolchildren, then hopping to nearby minds.
