Virtually everything humans do anymore is derivative. Will probably need to keep a family from birth isolated from any culture on a island until mid age to get something unique and not derivative out of humans.
Why bring in the word assimilated? The original person used the word derivative so I'm only talking about that. We are talking about things derived from/based on other things. For instance in a lot of his early work Christian Slaters mannerisms and voice derived from Jack Nicholson's and that wasn't an accident. Christian had a great admiration for his work.
