我们以诱发文化的概念为中心，阐述了文化变异的进化观点。然后，我们展示了如何使用诱发文化的框架来预测和解释文化差异，并报告了关于伴侣偏好中文化差异的假设的新测试。这些测试证明了进化心理学理论所涉及的生态变量（如寄生虫流行率）的预测能力。新的实证测试几乎没有支持与之竞争的社会角色理论所提出的预测（例如，Eagly & Wood, 1999），其中一些发现与这些理论所预测的相反。我们认为，一个清晰的文化变异的进化视角可能特别有用，因为它可以说明文化实践本身的变异是如何出现的。我们的结论是，文化差异的讨论应该超越社会与生物的错误二分法，并建议进化心理学提供超越这些二分法的框架。
We articulate an evolutionary perspective on cultural variation, centering on the concept of evoked culture. We then demonstrate how the framework of evoked culture has been used to predict and explain cultural variation and report new tests of hypotheses about cultural variation in mate preferences. These tests demonstrate the predictive power of ecological variables such as parasite prevalence that are implicated by evolutionary psychological theories. New empirical tests provided little support for the predictions advanced by competing social role theories (e.g., Eagly & Wood, 1999), with some findings running opposite to those predicted by such theories. We propose that a well-articulated evolutionary perspective on cultural variation may be particularly useful because it can specify how variation in cultural practice itself may emerge. We conclude that discussions of cultural variation should move beyond false dichotomies of social versus biological and suggest that evolutionary psychology provides frameworks that transcend these dichotomies.
