Are western minds weird? An ongoing study, started in 2008 is highlighting a startling, but unsurprising statistic - that our idea of how humans see the themselves, the world and each other, is based on a very small, very wierd group of outliers within the larger global village.

Editor's Notes
- Put another way: 96 percent of human subjects in these studies came from countries that represent only 12 percent of the world’s population
- The vertical axis gives the (PSE), ‘point of subjective equality’ , measures the amount that segment ‘a’ must be longer than ‘b’ before the two segments are judged equal in length. PSE measures the strength of the illusion It’s not merely that the strength of the illusory effect varies across populations – the effect cannot be detected in two populations.
- suggest that visual exposure during ontogeny to factors such as the “carpentered corners” of modern environments may favor certain optical calibrations and visual habits that create and perpetuate the illusion
- 23 small‐scale human societies, including foragers, horticulturalists, pastoralists, and subsistence farmers, drawn from Africa, Amazonia, Oceania, Siberia and New Guinea
- small‐scale societies with only face‐to‐face interaction made low offers and did not reject. the origins of agriculture and the rise of complex societies and expanding populations required set of social norms for dealing with money and strangers Community size positively predicts greater punishment (Henrich et al. n.d.). The U.S. offers are nearly double that of the Hadza, foragers from Tanzania, and the Tsimane, forager‐horticulturalists from the Bolivian Amazon.
- Before age 7 urban children reason about biological phenomena by analogy to, and by extension from, humans . stronger inference from humans to bugs than from bugs to bees
- populations with greater familiarity with the natural world make strong inferences from folkbiological knowledge that takes into account ecological context and relationships among species

- In data on spatial reference systems from 20 languages drawn from diverse societies—including foragers, horticulturalists, agriculturalists, and industrialized populations—only three languages relied on egocentric frames as their single preferred system of reference. All three were from industrialized populations: Japanese, English and Dutch

- cultural differences almost everywhere they looked: in spatial reasoning, the way we infer the motivations of others, categorization, moral reasoning, the boundaries between the self and others, etc.
