Answer:

the tragic division of families in the U.S. Civil War
Explanation:
Culturally specific terms are references that are unique to particular cultures and which other cultures might not understand or would have different interpretations to. The U.S Civil War and the effects from it would most likely be understood by families in the U.S because they experienced the war.
People from other countries, cultures, and backgrounds would find it difficult to relate to that.
In my opinion, the second main argument in "The Human Drift" is that human wandering across the planet, back and forth, has always been fueled by fear, while motivated by the search of food (as the first argument says). It is a primal fear that, if you don't eat, you will end up in someone else's stomach. Here is a nice excerpt that illustrates this argument: "Dominated by fear, and by their very fear accelerating their development, these early ancestors of ours, suffering hunger-pangs very like the ones we experience to-day, drifted on, hunting and being hunted, eating and being eaten, wandering through thousand-year-long odysseys of screaming primordial savagery, until they left their skeletons in glacial gravels, some of them, and their bone-scratchings in cave-men's lairs."
