ABSTRACT
Overview e essential givens of our species are oen called sociocultural universals. Sociocultural universals, or just universals, are the core of behavior and belief that makes us human. As descendants of anatomically modern humans who originated in Africa, we are the only remaining bipedal primates on the planet. We have an innate predisposition to sophisticated forms of language and depend on highly complex, group-living arrangements based on shared, learned behavior and ideas that change with time.
