Where do you see variances in the basic conception of property rights vary as though genetic and not cultural?

I never said anything about variance. Due to the physiological unity of humankind there may not be very much variance in the genetic component.

Look at my analogy with language: people learn the language of their parents, but that doesn't mean language ability has no genetic basis.

I see different ideas of the basic concept of property rights when I look in the history of anthropology. Since those differences faded quickly during cultural interactions. From that I conclude that property rights divergently evolved, and subsequently converged, faster than genetic mechanisms would imply possible.
