One of the themes pursued in the research of evolutionary anthropologist-cum-cross cultural psychologist Joseph Henrich is of interest to many far outside the academic worlds of anthropology and psychology. In this sense, Henrich reminds me somewhat of anthropologist-cum-political scientist James C. Scott. Their methods differ—Henrich is an innovator in field experiments, and is far fonder of his modeling and maths than Scott is—but their conclusions are oddly complementary.
