link between biology and culture

curt doolittle did a series of blog posts contrasting the myths, values and archetypes of various European peoples and how it related to their landscape. he contrasts steppe slavs and forest germans along with various seafaring peoples. he draws a straight line from geography through biology to culture and into psychology.

he did something similar contrasting the styles of negotiation and lying of the various peoples.
