Why Humans Have Cultures

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 ofcrucial 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.Carrithers, Michael is the author of 'Why Humans Have Cultures' with ISBN 9780192192271 and ISBN 0192192272.
