Hypothesis
Capital punishment is a cross-cultural universal (p. 45).
Note
There was evidence against capital punishment in only 2 cultures out of 53 where there was enough data to code capital punishment, and the evidence was scant in both cases, with the author ultimately stating that the data in these cases may be unreliable (p. 40-42)
