Maybe it is more genetic than culture. These people have not moved from the birth of their origins for thousand upon thousands of years. The people that left the area thousands of years ago were looking for something different, better and the ones that stayed were content with same old same old. It would explain why American and other later settled countries are at the forefront of technology. Why some in the old country stayed and fought the same old tired wars of tribalism and religion, a small group hit the road to find some thing better for the future. Just like I would think that if we ever develop space travel to other worlds there we be some who would be standing in line ready to go while others you could not get them off earth with a bomb strapped to their butts. Could it be they simply do not have the genetic make up necessary to get up of their collective behinds and do something?

"Could it be they simply do not have the genetic make up necessary to get up of (sic) their collective behinds and do something?"

What a fascinating question you pose.
