Behavioural variation in 172 small-scale societies indicates that social learning is the main mode of human adaptation

Both cultural phylogeny and ecology will be stronger predictors than spatial distance for a majority of traits in all categories (5).

Cultural phylogeny was defined as pairwise distance in a language phylogeny and spatial distance as pairwise geographic distance.
