 abstract={The aim of this paper is to determine the explanatory power of Amotz Zahavi’s ‘handicap theory’ in describing culturally distributed rituals. Zahavi’s starting point is the difficulty noticed by Charles Dar win: the differences between two sexes have been acquired in some instances at the cost not only of convenience but of exposure to actual danger. The costly features of males, which are responsible for these differences, should have been eliminated a long time ago by the process of evolution. But it has not happened– why? In seeking an answer to this question, Zahavi posited that these features function as signals which, in handicapping the sender, are too costly to dissimulate, and that the similar principle directs the development of human ritualistic behaviours. How far is this assumption sound, when taking into consideration the argument of some evolutionists and anthropologists, that human culture makes profound changes in the nature of evolving systems?},
