Anthropology
English term or phrase: propensies
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.
