9780192892119: Why Humans Have Cultures: Explaining Anthropology and Social Diversity (O.P.U.S.)

Synopsis

Why Humans Have Cultures examines three basic questions: what unity underlies human cultural diversity? What are the origins of that diversity? How can we understand it? The author argues that it is the ways in which people interact-rather than technological advances-that have been of crucial importance in human history. In this thought-provoking book, Carrithers draws on ancient and contemporary examples to show how this perspective forms a solid foundation for the study of culture, society, and history.
