Acquired culture depends on social transmission and displays salient cross-cultural variability.
It seems unconnected to adaptive fitness. It is however constrained by evolved properties of the mind. In all these domains the notion of cultural transmission along domain-specific cognitive tracks governed by intuitive ontology is supported by independent psychological evidence and provides testable explanations for recurrent features in the anthropological record. This connects developmental evidence about specific category-level principles and recurrent features of cultural concepts in the domain of religion. This is not affected by the concepts actually used in the participants' cultures.
