Document Summary
The study of humanity, from its evolutionary origins millions of years ago to its current world wide diversity. Populations of people living in organized groups with social institutions and expectations of behavior. The learned values, beliefs, and rules of conduct that are shared to some extent by the members of a society, and that govern their behavior with one another. The ideas people have about themselves, others, and the world, and the ways that people express theses ideas. The tools people make and use, the clothing they wear, the buildings they live in, and the household utensils they use. A perspective in anthropology that views culture as an integrated whole, no part of which can be completely understood without considering the whole. An approach in anthropology that uses data about the behaviors and beliefs in many societies to document both cultural universals and cultural universals and cultural diversity.
