520 Virtually all aspects of human behavior show enormous
variation both within and between cultural groups,
including material culture, social organization and
language. Thousands of distinct cultural groups exist:
about 6,000 languages are spoken today, and it is thought
that a far greater number of languages existed in the past
but became extinct. Using a Darwinian approach, this book
seeks to explain this rich cultural variation. There are a
number of theoretical reasons to believe that cultural
diversification might be tree-like, that is phylogenetic:
material and non-material culture is clea.
