Document Summary
Anthropology and imperialism: history (anthropology started in the west and dealt with the difference between western people and non-western people) Terms (power point presentation will not be on the web) Which part of our behavior is due to nature (genes) and which is due to what we"ve learned from each other. May be a false contrast because when we look at things that are given by nurture, some is actually given by nature/genes and vice versa. Language and culture are programmed into humans by nature. Having language and culture is programmed into nature yet our culture is so complex it cannot be from nature. Specific languages and culture are human particulars. Language allows us to adapt to new situations. Clothing/domesticated dogs and use of hunting methods was a real adaptation. This depends on social organization and working together, simply speaking to each other on how to do things/what works best.
