358A naturalistic approach to the study of the relationship between biology andculture is to be meant in relation to a unitary conception of human beings. Inthis article we argue that an account of such conception needs to appeal to aco-evolutive view of the relations between biology and culture. However, thisidea of coevolution, if it does not want to be just commonsense explanation,must make two specific conceptual assumptions: a conception of culture (atleast of some of its characteristics) as a form of biological adaptation; an interpretationof cultural beliefs and behaviors as an «ecological niche» in whichindividuals are immersed and to which they must adapt to survive. The casestudy that supports the general hypothesis that we make in this article concernsthe biocognitive foundations of religious beliefs and behaviors. For by construingthese beliefs and behaviors as cultural ecological niches, it is possible toargue that the biocognitive systems that subserve religion can be conceived asbiological adaptations due to natural selection.
