The nativist hypothesis suggests universal features of human behaviour can be explained by biologically determined cognitive substrates. This nativist account has been challenged recently by evolutionary models showing that the cultural transmission of knowledge can produce behavioural universals.

It reads: " No person in the US shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under...
