Hypothesis
Behavioral traits will be affected by both cultural history and ecology (5).

Cultural history was defined as pairwise distance in a language phylogeny and pairwise geographic distance. In <1% of traits there is no effect of cultural history, and in only 2% of traits is there no effect of ecology.
