Dear folks,
For a study, I am collecting a list of references on findings and theories about human natural- and social universals. I'd appreciate if those of you working on this area can direct me to the relevant studies, especially those with solid empirical evidence over longitudinal, evolutionary tests across distant cultures. I look particularly for scientific studies outside business/management, e.g., biology, anthropology, neurosciences, etc. As a return of favor, those who provide me more than ten relevant references will receive a full list of all studies I eventually collect from all sources.
p.s., for those of you who have an interest in this topic, below are a few recent books that you might find of interest.
Fukuyama, F. (2011). The origins of political order: From prehumen times to the French Revolution. New York, NY: Faffar, Straus and Giroux.
Pinker, S. (2013). Language, cognition, and human Nature: Selected articles. New York, NY: Oxford University Press
Richerson, P. J., & Boyd, R. (2008). Not by genes alone: How culture transformed human evolution. University of Chicago Press.

Thanks!
