Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2003AbstractHumans are unique in their range of environments and in the nature and diversity of their behavioral adaptations.

Moreover, as expected under a cultural interpretation, we find a correlation between geographic distance and cultural difference, a correlation between the abundance of ...
