Here is a great article on innate human geometrical capacity. Not surprising to me given that pattern recognition and navigation would be essential for survival. Although not mentioned specifically, this research is indicative of an excellent method for researching human universals. These universals would more than likely be biological rather than cultural. In the great nature vs. nuture debate, one important fact needs to be kept in mind, that culture is totally limited by the limits of the mind. It is not as if these are co-equals.
