DAN SPERBER Social and cognitive scientist, CNRS, Paris; author, Explaining Culture Culture is natural A number of us — biologists, cognitive scientists, anthropologists or philosophers — have been trying to lay down the foundations for a truly naturalistic approach to culture.

"It's we who win," said guitar-strumming folk singer Lillebjoern Nilsen as he led the mass singalong and watched the crowd sway gently in the rain.
