propensies

English to French Other Anthropology
Hello,

I have difficulties in translating : "new saving propensies" into French in this context : "Migrations have transferred cultures across vast distancies and thereby transformed whole regions of the planet, as new skills, [...] new saving propensies, [...] all have had their impact on the environments to which people moved."

Thank you for your help.

saving propensities ? Thank you ! I had thought about "propensity", still I can't come up with a translation for "saving propensities" in that context .
Arnold T. Mar 2, 2009:
Je suis convaincu que c'est une faute de frappe : propensity = propension !
Geraldine Oudin Mar 2, 2009:
Ne serais-ce pas une faute de frappe pour "propensities"?
