Adaptation and intracultural variation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (1):162-162 (2000)
Abstract
Inclusion of cultural variables in the study of human evolution is essential but introduces problems of vagueness, nonspecificity, and overgeneralization. Recognition of intracultural variation and conflict, and inclusion of ontogenetic processes such as individual learning are antidotal.My notes
