Data and code accompanying "Environment and culture shape both the colour lexicon and the genetics of colour perception"
This repository contains all the data and code needed to reproduce the plots and analyses reported in the paper Environment and culture shape both the colour lexicon and the genetics of colour perception by M. Josserand, E. Meeussen, A. Majid, and D. Dediu
Our code and data are released under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL) v3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt) and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0), but the various datasets that we use are governed by their respective licenses (described in the ReadMe.md document in the input_files folder of the project).
The full analysis report, resulting from running the scripts, was compressed as colors-UV.html.zip to reduce its file size.
We also include pre-computed intermediary results (sub-folder cached_results) to save computing time and to ensure exact replicability (as some techniques involve pseudo-random numbers and may depend on the particular libraries and software platform used) -- however, these cached results are not necessary to rebuild, check and extend our results.
Therefore, as some techniques involve pseudo-random numbers and may depend on the particular libraries and software platform used, there may be minute differences in the results obtained when re-running these analyses.
