'Explaining Culture' is a contribution to both evolutionary and cultural psychology. It provides a framework for thinking about how the human mind evolved and how the resulting'mental modules' can serve as the basis not only for universal aspects of human culture but also for cultural diversity. The book is full of novel and thought provoking ideas and is a pleasure to read.' --Richard Nisbett, University of Michigan Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
