An interesting article from Discover on how human cultures could (have) be(en) subgroups splitting off in the process of becoming other species before massive gene mixing and unifying from the likes of Europeans traveling all over and killing and unifying the many smaller groups.
Yes, this gets a big "Duh," but he has an interesteing theory that the more resources a place has (Central America, Australia), the more seperate cultures it can accomodate. That there is some innate aspect of humanity that will attempt to split off if the resources allow for it. Seems to make sense, like cancer.
