Abstract: In this paper, we present the points of convergence between of adaptive memory and cultural attraction, and how these two approaches can help evolutionary ethnobiologists understand human cognition and behavior in relation to nature. In addition, we present empirical evidence of how the union of genetic, cultural and ecological factors can shape the human mind and behavior, aspects that are often dissociated by ethnobiologists. Thus, the present manuscript brings a holistic perspective on the subject, allowing theoretical contributions and opportunities for dialogue between the fields of adaptive memory, cultural attraction and evolutionary ethnobiology.
