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

Cultural phylogeny will be a stronger predictor than ecology for a majority of traits, except for technology and material culture traits (5).

Cultural phylogeny was defined as pairwise distance in a language phylogeny.
