Document Summary

Consider culture by focusing on phenomena that are triggered in diferent ways by diferent environments: 2 key parts: Food supply: if there is variability in the amount of available food, sharing is more likely to be evoked. Cultural diference in degree to which groups share: high variance = more (food) sharing. Impulsivity and early reproducion: harsh, inconsistent childcare, erraically provided resources, marital discord. Marriages lasing: parents invest in children and higher value on chasity/virginity: sweden. Divorce more common: children born outside of marriage and lower value on chasity/ virginity: maing strategies may be diferenially evoked in diferent cultures. Insults: ofensive public challenges that are met with confrontaion and physical aggression. Assumpion: all humans have capacity to develop sensiivity to insults and capacity to respond to violence. More likely to endorse violence and aggression as a response to an insult (for the purpose for protecion) Transmited culture: representaions in at least 1 person"s mind are transmited to others.
