WHY ARE SO MANY CULTURES SIMILAR YET DIFFERENT?

Why are so many cultures similar, yet different?
Culture is the beliefs, behavior, language, and entire way of life of a particular time
or group of people. Culture includes customs, ceremonies, works of art, inventions,
technology, and traditions. The term also may have a more specific definition and can
describe the intellectual and artistic achievements of a society. Things that culture
break down into are anthropology, archaeology, art, civilization, education, history,
human evolution, and sociology.
Cultures are similar because if they were started in the same climate as another culture
they would get the same amount of rainfall and droughts which means they would produce
similar crops and products. Cultures could be similar if they believed in monotheism.
Monotheism is the belief in one god. Two cultures could develop in the same climate, have
the same crops, and yet be different. They could be different in that one culture could
be monotheistic, and the other polytheistic. Polytheistic is the belief in more then one
god. Many European cultures are similar in that they believe in one god. However, they
are different in language spoken, customs and traditions, holidays celebrated, their
manner of dress, their courting and marital rituals, and diet. Two cultures that have the
similarity of language can be different. The United States has a president and Britain
has a Prime Minister. In Britain they have tea time and we don't! 
All cultures generally have a leader of their government. In this way they are similar.
Differences occur in language, religion, and climate.
