Color categorization: a possible concordance between genes and culture.

RESUMO

A marked correspondence is found to relate the categories of infant wavelength discrimination and the ethnographic distribution of adult color terms. The structure of the infant category system accounts for at least 75% of the variance in the world ethnographic categories (P less than 0.001). Such a correspondence is predicted to be favored by natural selection when perceptual mechanisms interact with their associated cultural traits.
