But this suggestion precludes behavior itself, as well as artifacts
and inventions, all of which are attributes of culture which can all
be replicated (to variable accuracy though). I'm afraid I find this a too
limited definition. I'm also not sure if one can replicate a `mental
predisposition'. Perhaps you can explain in greater detail what
you mean Joe.
