    Culture started after modern humans arrived on the scene. Therefore, it's not an adaptive behavior.

We know some apes have culture, so, do we have a strong reason to believe pre-humans had no culture?

I was also under the impression humans have evolutionary adaptations which came after the first Homo Sapiens (maybe skin pigmentation, or finger wrinkling?).
