This article lays out a middle ground between strong evolutionary-adaptationist and strong environmental-determinist positions. It acknowledges the importance of human evolution in understanding current human functions and activities while also acknowledging the powerful role of culture in shaping humans. The biological, environmental, and cultural forces that lead to generality or distinctive specificity in different groups of humans are summarized, with some consideration to principles of evolution and development from biology that apply in the psychological and cultural realm. In particular, processes such as canalization and preadaptation are applied to the cultural evolution and the transmission of culture. Many of these points are illustrated in a consideration of biological, psychological, and cultural factors that shape human food choice
