    Getting Noticed.David F. Lancy & M. Annette Grove - 2011 - Human Nature 22 (3):281-302.
    Although it is rarely named, the majority of societies in the ethnographic record demarcate a period between early childhood and adolescence. Prominent signs of demarcation are, for the first time, pronounced gender separation in fact and in role definition; increased freedom of movement for boys, while girls may be bound more tightly to their mothers; and heightened expectations for socially responsible behavior. But above all, middle childhood is about coming out of the shadows of community life and assuming a distinct, (...)

    When nurture becomes nature: Ethnocentrism in studies of human development.David F. Lancy - 2010 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (2-3):99-100.

An argument is made that the root problem is the ethnocentrism of scholars, textbook authors, and social commentators, which leads them to take their own cultural values as the norm.
