    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.
