Now a small problem will be to wrap words around it since they don't seem to exist, and a bigger problem is that I have got a list of things to do before Christmas, that I am sick, that my wife is sick and that my son is sick as well.

Crocodile Gandhi wrote:I have a couple of queries, however. The first is to do with this statement:
Whilst it is necessarily true that an evolutionary behavior would be universal across cultures...
I'm wondering whether this is necessarily true? Is the assumption here that any evolved behaviours would have evolved so long ago that they would now be present in all cultures? Or is there a possibility that some very isolated cultures have evolved behaviours which remain specific to their culture?
The second query is to do with the experiments to test cheating. I'm not sure I fully understood what they were getting at here. In the experiment with the numbers and the coloured cards, what would constitute cheating behaviour? Is the word 'cheat' being used in a different context? Or did I simply not read it carefully enough? There's a high probability of that occurring, mind.
Crocodile Gandhi wrote:That makes a lot more sense. I had assumed that 'cheating' referred to a behaviour displayed by the person flipping the cards - that they could somehow cheat by flipping certain cards and not others.

Sorry! I guess I didn't explain that bit too well. It's quite a big and detailed area, and the limited word count forced me to gloss over some basic explanations apparently
